Ernesto Diezmartinez

The Color Purple is a decaffeinated remake: more militant and careful, but more monotonous and less bold than the version directed by Steven Spielberg in 1985. [Full review in Spanish]

This is the superior version, wringing as much emotion out of viewers as the previous picture but thankfully leaving aside its tonal inconsistencies.

Nicholas Bell

A vibrant reimagining of an iconic, harrowing narrative, Bazawule's adaptation of the stage play may soften the trauma but not the intensity of The Color Purple, featuring a stellar cast led by a resplendent Fantasia Barrino.

A dazzling musical adaptation of Walker's novel and the hit Broadway show, brought to life by a remarkably talented ensemble, and featuring an impressive selection of songs, ultimately resulting in a surprising success & one of the best films of the year.

Even with its flaws, The Color Purple remains a sensitive cinematic experience.
