While this movie obviously had great talent, it was so depressing I barely made it through. Every woman had a heavy burden, from being HIV positive from her husband, having her children dropped from a 5th story window (the worst part), being raped by a casual acquaintance, being pregnant as a teen and having a back alley abortion, and more......it was all just about too much to take in one sitting. I don't have a problem with drama, but this was overload. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Much of the dialog was in prose and though it had a few great lines, it was difficult to follow/understand. When we left the theater and talked we found we'd both wanted to leave early in the movie...I wish one of us would have made the move!!!
