Woman Thou Art Loosed (Special Collector's Edition) Review

This is a movie you definitely need to show to your children while explaining what the main idea is. Many children were molested by the "UNCLE" back in the day and this is the movie which tells it, makes it plain, and expresses it in such a powerful way that after-wards you really feel that there is an essential need to tell your story to those who may need a way to climb out from that dark hiding place in which they too, have buried that dirty dressed up secret.

Great movie.

Woman Thou Art Loosed (Special Collector's Edition) Specifications

Woman Thou Art Loosed is a powerful, tragic feature film adaptation of the bestselling, inspirational book of the same name by Dallas-based minister T.D. Jakes. Jakes plays himself in this fictional movie (which is derived from his work with women seeking guidance after experiences of abuse), lending his golden presence in a story about a death row inmate, Michelle (Kimberly Elise), whose childhood rape by her clueless mother's boyfriend leads to one catastrophe after another. Elise is very good in a difficult part, her character deeply cynical and seemingly beyond the reach of love, yet still human. The rest of the cast is also very fine: Loretta Devine as the ever-in-denial mom, Michael Boatman as a childhood friend who recalls Michelle's innocence, and Sean Blakemore as a criminal trying to steal the doomed heroine's soul. Veteran television director Michael Schultz ably guides the drama toward its quiet, unforgettable ending. --Tom Keogh
