Plot

In post-Civil War Ohio, a former slave is haunted by the ghost of the daughter she killed to save her from slavery.

Sinekatalog’s take

Jonathan Demme's adaptation of Toni Morrison's novel is ambitious and powerful, with Oprah Winfrey and Thandiwe Newton, though uneven.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
