Customer Reviews of Woman Thou Art Loosed

Powerful and Astounding Movie
This movie got inside my soul and spirit. I cannot explain, it stayed with me for days and even my husband. It is one of those movies that when you finish watching it you don't have to say anything, because you are on the same page with the person who watched it with you. This movie is about a woman on deathrow who requests the presence of a preacher (TD Jakes) and from there she reveals her story. A story of pain, anger, suffering, and freedom. This movie tells one woman's story but it is a story about many many women today. It needs to be told. And I am not going to reveal the storyline because I don't like telling a story. Just know you will be shaken, crying, angry, and pensive through this story. <
> <
>One thing I will say is that you get glimpse of reality so close to home. Even if you're not a survivor- you will walk away feeling that there is something you need to let go. I recommend watching this movie with someone if you are a survivor of abuse because you WILL be triggered. It may call for a counseling session or prayer or the need to hold someone. Because it will speak to your heart and soul. Please see this movie. <
> <
>This movie should ESPECIALLY be seen by men. Married men, single men, gay men...just men period. They need to know and then you need to share with your love one or partner. <
> <
>The acting was superub and powerful even now I can feel the movie and it has been 3 days since I've seen it. I hope you find peace and healing! <

Commanding, heartrending film version
Cassey Jordan (Loretta Devine)is a single mother that doubts that good men really exist. Especially who want to be saddled in a relationship with baggage. As luck would have it, there is a guy Reggie. Thanks to good old "Uncle" Reggie, Cassey now feels LOVE! Sure he has his faults! But guess what? He wants Cassey, and she's thanking GOD for him! <
> <
>In flashbacks we go into the story of Michelle Jordan (Kimberly Elise), Cassey's daughter, who has just been released from jail. <
> <
>In a desperate search for solace. The very cynical, Michelle still longs for the understanding from her "extremely simple" mother. Thankfully, she does have the support of Twana (Debbie Morgan) along, with her friend Nicole, who has issues of her own. <
> <
>Michelle is attending revival, keeping herself free of those street elements. She has even captured the eye of her childhood friend Todd (Michael Boatman) who speaks of their "innocence". <
> <
>Isn't it just like the darkness to cover you when you're trying so hard to be the best that you can be? No matter how you try to forget, the loathing encases your mind, heart, and your spirit. So much so that all you can feel is the overwhelming pain, that is steadily G R O W I N G! <
>C O N T R O L L I N G, <
>G U I D I N G, <
>W I L L I N G Y O U! <
> <
>Can these little girls who've suffered so deeply live amidst that destructive path? <
> <
>Unfortunately due to silence, fear, and shame generations of women are molested! It is not an easy topic to discuss. Since no one talks about what happened, the PROBLEM then becomes "looked over" which helps it fester into a full blown epidemic! Countless women in abusive, destructive, lives and relationships all stemmed from being closed off with this horrible secret. <
> <
>SOMEDAY THINGS WILL GET BRIGHTER! <
> <
>I was scared that I wouldn't be able to handle the frankness of what this heartrending film version of the bestselling book by T.D. Jakes represented. My heart is so full and I'm grateful that I was able to cross that fear out. Woman Thou Art Loose is not a preachy "brothers/sisters you better get yourself together!" type of movie. It COMMANDS all of your attention as well as your compassion for the abused women of this world. <
> <
>PEOPLE I BEG YOU, DON'T LET THIS MOVIE BE YOUR ONLY CRUSADE! <

"little girls like me don't grow up, they just die"
Based on Bishop T.J. Jakes' novel and stage play, this is a brutal, honest, and wonderfully acted film on the abuse of young women (statistics: 1 in 3 women have been molested between the ages of 5 and 15). It's a topic not often talked about, fermenting in silence, guilt, and anger, and so often will be continued from one generation to the next. This is what happens in this story, as Cassey, abused by her father, ends up with a boyfriend that rapes her daughter Michelle. <
>This award winning film shows how with the right script and fine acting, one can make a riveting film on a shoestring budget. The story is told in flashback, as Michelle tells Bishop Jakes about her life, both sitting in her jail cell, as she makes a house with no door, out of matchsticks. <
> <
>The cast is superb: Kimberly Elise is Michelle, the central character, Loretta Devine is Michelle's mother Cassey, Debbi Morgan is Twana, Cassey's attractive, youthful mother, Clifton Powell is Reggie, Cassey's boyfriend, and Michael Boatman is Todd, the man who has always loved Michelle. Much of the film is extremely emotional, especially in the sections when the actors talk directly to the camera, a staging concept that is more like a play, but is very effectively used here. <
>The DVD gives the option of widescreen play and full screen, and for this particular film, I prefer the full screen, because so much is captured in the facial close-ups. <
> <
>Bishop T.D. Jakes is one of the great preachers of our time, and is also an author of many books, a playwright, a musician and singer, and the human dynamo that leads the mega-church known as The Potter's House in Dallas, Texas. <
>Well paced direction by Michael Schultz, an almost classical score by Todd Cochran, and some great editing add to the overall excellence of the film. <
>This is so much more than a Christian film, and should be seen by all women, because this tragic problem spans every race and social strata, and in this film you will see your sister, your friend, possibly yourself. It is for those "countless women whose stories remain untold", and all those relationships that have been hurt by the silence. <
>Total running time is 94 minutes. <
