An epic tale spanning forty years in the life of Celie, an African-American woman living in the South who survives incredible abuse and bigotry. After Celie's abusive father marries her off to the equally debasing 'Mister' Albert Johnson, things go from bad to worse, leaving Celie to find companionship anywhere she can. She perseveres, holding on to her dream of one day being reunited with her sister in Africa.

"I wept. I just wept. I was very young when I saw this. The end is so bittersweet to me. It's been a long time since I have watched this but I definitely recommend it. "

"I can’t even say how long I’ve been saying I would watch this but just didn’t have the emotional strength since I heard it was a lot . My grandma said oh you have to watch it now and I just had my jaw clenched the entire time from trying to keep from crying. Breaks you down and builds you back up by the end . 10/10 goodness gracious "

"So emotional, it pulled at my heart strings and made me cry almost like The Help. The endurance and hardships Celie had to endure but her reward at the end was priceless and I was so happy to see her be reunited with her sister and children!"

"Powerful movie on so many levels. I'll admit I was shocked that it's getting rebooted because this movie is amazing all by itself and the actors in it played their roles perfectly. "
