‘The Color Purple’ (2023) Review

'The Color Purple' (2023) Review: A Momentous Musical The filmmakers behind The Color Purple do not like an easy task. The original source material is a heavy piece of work that's already been adapted with acclaim by one of the greatest directors living or dead.

The risk certainly comes with reward in the form of incredible performances by its star studded cast, who play out the film's inspiring story for a new audience. Young Celie is black woman faced with the perils of life in the 1900s American south.

The movie jumps through important elements with haste,…
