Title: A Beautiful Failure
Review: I saw Beloved when it first appeared in theaters. I had read the book, so the film was not confusing. The setting was lovely and at times the acting was brilliant, but as a whole, it was a complete failure. I suggest making the effort to read the book rather than waste three hours on a film that is at best mediocre. Those who are too lazy to discover Morrison's poetic language and beautiful characters between the covers of a book might find this film satisfactory, however, for those who have experienced Morrison's incredible voice, it only taints her novel's brilliance.
