Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This family drama begins in a gritty Chicago neighborhood with a jobless, hopeless mother (Alfre Woodard) pouring her efforts into the bottle and various drugs rather than her troubled daughter and wise-beyond-his-years son. But the movie soon heads south, as the title suggests, when Mom and kids are sent to live with an uncle for the summer. Their lives change, of course, but that's the only predictable aspect of this 107-minute film. First-time director Maya Angelou brings her poetic sense to Myron Goble's elegant script, and the performances are uniformly excellent, most notably the always superb Woodard, Al Freeman Jr. as her uncle, and Mary Alice as her mother. Wesley Snipes takes a break from his action career to do some acting as Freeman's son, and the late Esther Rolle is haunting in the last portrayal of her career. The film's touch of mystery is provided by one of its most devastating characters, a candelabra called Nathan. Rated PG-13, but suitable for ages 8 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs Average Rating:

Rating: - "Down in the Delta"This film is both heartfelt and funny. Maya Angelou had directed the movie in a straight forward style (no need for camera tricks or flashy embellishments here) and as such delivers a film that builds to an emotional, satisfying ending that should please all. All the acting is first-rate with an especially great performance by Alfre Woodard. The screenplay provides for a wonderful family story to unfold at just the right pace with some pleasant surprises along the way. And, although this is a story ... Read More Rating: - Down in the Delta will Lift your SpiritI think this film should be required viewing in every school across our nation. Without realizing it, the viewer is slowing given a very personal lesson in slavery and its impact on the African American family, both in the past and as it effects these families today. The film gets its message across without the viewer learning the meaning of the candlestick named "Nathan," but when a family's determination to not allow a pawnbroker to take possession of Nathan is finally revealed, the impact slavery ...
