I like the hair braiding scene because for a kid it's more than just about being broke but about what comes with being broke. The uncertainty, the stress the insecurity and not feeling like you have a stable life. All of that compiled with the fact that this is not because of decisions that as a kid one made but someone else made for you. It just hits close to home but also that it's harder to feel loved and safed in a home with not just mental but financial struggles
The acting is so raw and mundane just with these few clips. It’s very close to home. The way the cast interprets the dysfunction between them through the facial expressions and body language just shows they know their craft. These scenes are very believable just with the dialogue and the setting is relatable. People may criticize the storyline or the prose but the execution in the acting is beautiful to watch. Monique and Glenn brought a level of intensity to this film that Fortified every scene. Monique brings forth the uncomfortable emotions to the forefront and Glenn is such a masterful force in anything. Watching Glenn transform was simply mesmerizing and terrifying.❤❤❤
That's what really attracted me to this film. It felt like some scenes directly pulled from my own home. The dinner scene with the slap at the beginning just felt so uncomfortable but so realistic as well
@@ojd88the prose and cgi effects could have been way better but the acting 🎭 was seriously on point. I didn’t doubt a word these actors said. I feel this would’ve been a better familial drama than horror film.
I love that they showed how demons really show up in a black household. It doesn’t come in the form of cracking and smells and the scary shit. It’s everything else. Alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, financial instability, trauma! All my black folks say the movie wasn’t scary…. To somebody that has never experienced that life, the entire fucking movie is scary!
Really? They've forced new categories and are Required to include Inclusion at the Oscar's or anything else regardless of quality in 2024. For the Oscar's let's say the only film that year of inclusion was 'Norbit' the Academy Awards would be forced to nominate Norbit for Best Picture. Now is that fair honestly? No it's not, and who would even want to accept an award that way?
@@blerdbabewth is a norbit? It's ORBIT. Yall need to open up some book. Here i give you: An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one. An object in an orbit is called a satellite. A satellite can be natural, like Earth or the moon.
@@blerdbabe You clearly read to respond rather than understand. The point is if Norbit with Eddie Murphy was the only film that fulfilled the new qualifications then it would have to be nominated and very potentially win.
My favorite part was when the daughter said she was tired of being broke and the little brother got up took a handful of popcorn and said me too and then walked away 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This movie is incredible. Highlighting the importance of forgiveness, love and faith! Love it, and telling all the haters, hypocrites, to not come to me with no crap on how this movie is an open portal to hell lol This movie shows what real people go through in their journey to Christ! Movies like this need to be seen! We can use it as a self help tool to Christ!
@@sw9979 I was thinking this too. I don't know why those self proclaim TH-camrs are speaking on the name of our lord and they didn't even watched dat movie and put a judgement on it! Finally a movie praising Jesus. People need to watch this.
@@malcrich8302 you know that they claim that the holy spirit told them to warn people and I’m like, hmm? Are you sure that’s a holy spirit? Because like the pastor said in the movie, the devil can portray anyone. And to be frank, I’m pretty sure the devil is not going to want us to watch a movie of defeating him and getting closer to god. One girl was like, omg! I had to stop watching it bc of the cursing and alcohol and homophobic slurs, and I’m like, but…if we don’t show how the family got into the situation they were in, In the first place, then we don’t have a storyline? Like, people….??? Really? Girl, I have sinned and been through everything the family had gone through and had it not been for that, I wouldn’t be able to run to god for help and build a better relationship with him. See god want to be needed that’s why he made us have free will. We need more movies like this because people need to feel something they can relate to and possibly searching for a way to heal. Girl, if they made a movie about my journey lol they’ll probably say omg! This is a witch film! It’s demonic! Some watch! Lol bc I’ve tried everything and did every sin there is. I’m not perfect and I’m not trying to be. I’m just focused on god and trying to become the person he wants me to be. Also, I’d like to add the message before the film started, “ I need forgiveness for my sins, but I also need deliverance from the power of sin. “
I wish this movie was more like a family drama than a horror movie. The dynamic between Andra and Glenn felt so real I hope both of them got recognition for their brilliant work as Ebony and Alberta!
I loved this movie! To be honest, I think it didn't even need the exorcism/paranormal (although it was a nice addition), as the real drama of the single mom family in a complex and very difficult situation was already an intense battle in itself. Acting was so good. Glen's character was fantastic, as many others. So the first half of the movie could even stand on it's own as a proper drama. I just wish the older siblings had a bit more time and character development, as their acting was also great. But I understand people often struggle with long slow-burn movies, which I love though. Special effects were also great, especially the demon transforming into the grandma. That looked so nice.
The only good thing about this movie is the brilliant acting from all ladies. The hair braiding and Alberta’s death were powerful scenes, but did not make up for an otherwise lackluster movie.
I grew up in a funeral home house so it takes a lot to scare me. This was not scary “AT” all! The only thing I took away from this movie is to start dressing my age at “58” bc I own a few outfits I saw Glen's character wearing 🙄
Homegirl Glenisha. Is from the same project . That Cardi B is from. You know she be cooking grits , ham hoggs, callard greens, homemade mc and cheese and cornbread. And she washes it down with gin and juice. Glenisha looks like she gets her food stamps on the 1st of the month.
My fave scene is when Ebony went to confront his son’s bully hit him and told him call yo mama i’ll rock that heaux too😂 lord I felt that and understood her because I am a mother…
Showing a family in family moments is something that we don't see a lot of anymore in film and television. It's a shame because it solidifies the connections of the characters very strongly.
It's a horror movie but also a family drama dealing with generations of abuse and addiction. An alcoholic single mom and her cancer stricken, ex-addict, newly Christian mother. There was a lot of heavy scenes in this movie and the acting was top notch
@@AlexanderTheGraype Because it starts with a script. You do realize they are dramatizing something that was written down, right? You also realize the actors are analyzing dialogue, right?
Can't believe there are even a handful of comments complimenting how good the movie is 😂 that said, the actors really tried to do their job lol, kudos to them. They didn't deserve such bad writing, directing
I love Glenn Close and Andra (love her songs) but this movie had such a slow take off! It took over 2/3 of the movie to get exciting but then the movie ended. Disappointing.

Glen has been the GOAT for 40 years. I loved her ever since Dangerous Liaisons. She embodies every character.
She was the goat when she played Cruella Deville
This woman is overdue an Oscar. I hope she is nominated and wins for this role.
Es mi favorita desde Atraccion fatal en 1987 GENIAL y la he seguido desde ahi
Glenn is always wow, but Monique! So talented. I hope we continue to see more and more of her.
Glenn is the G.O.A.T. 🙌🙌🙌🙌

@ojd88 please show us your script
@@wisdomseeker0142 I agree I think we should have gotten a family drama instead would get Glen Close closer to that Oscar
Love this movie. I had a good time watching it and people are still talking about there performances. They ate 🔥
Rihanna vibes with Andra
Nah
I totally see it
lol I think it’s just the appearance cause there isn’t event an island in sight
Andra is STUNNING ain’t she
I thought it was Riri until she started talking.
I loved when Glenn Close cursed so much - it was hilarious!!
mo'nique keeps it real in real life and that translates into her roles. great actress.

Not all households are like this
Demons don’t discriminate!
NO ONE SAID IT DID BUT OUR EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA VARIES SO PLEASE STFU@@jennifercooljeo6552
Thank you for adding nuance. So many of us aren't that intellectual woke to digest this!!!
I think they mirror the family in the home but yes it does show it in this particular environment
Everybody was excellent, but the standouts in this movie were Definitely Glenn, the oldest son (from stranger things) and Monique’s characters.
great movie, great acting and real story
Glen Close did her thing in this Movie her performance was 100% Oscar Worthy!!! 💯🥰🏆
Andra and Glenn PLAYED them parts! Now the Oscars ain’t Black enough to realize how well they acted, but they definitely deserve some awards.

Really good movie. Great acting all around, from Glenn to the little boy.
I loved the entire MOVIE. LET'S GET THAT OSCAR!
Glenn doing the weave sent me 😂😂😂
4 powerhouse Actors with Glenn Close, Monique, Andra Day, and Aunjaune Ellis. Academy awards nominated and winning talents!
I wish this movie was more like a family drama than a horror movie.
The dynamic between Andra and Glenn felt so real I hope both of them got recognition for their brilliant work as Ebony and Alberta!
Glen walking bald down the stairs with a bat was all angry was so scary 😅
This is a pretty good family drama. But unfortunately they advertised this film as a horror supernatural, which they lacked a LOT in that department.
Yesssss. It took for GD ever to get to the horror supernatural element.

Horror movies never are taken seriously at the Awards, but we know a Brilliant film when we see it. Five Star film.
I'm glad they didn't make Glenn a caricature of a black woman
It’s based on true events… why would they?
@@MrTeddyBiz Hollywood movies can tend to do things like that
@@MrTeddyBiz "Based" meaning they can fuq it up.
I enjoyed the movie, it scared me tho.
rihanna fenty is a really good actress, she should do more movies👑🫶
incredible movie

I wonder if she died but wasn't sure when I watched it.

Exorcist in the hood. You're welcome.
This is not near the exorcist movie now that movie was demonic for sure like the poltergeist.
The fact they look like they are in a church cursing is dark to me.
My fave scene is when Ebony went to confront his son’s bully hit him and told him call yo mama i’ll rock that heaux too😂 lord I felt that and understood her because I am a mother…
the movie itself was really good regardless of the scares. usually I find scary movies to be boring until the scare

I want to watch it but I’m scared to watch it 😂
I know how you feel, but dude we are strong let's do this 😂
@@KeithKachingwe haha bet 😂
this is a story of a real-life horrific evil, and, as a child I experienced an entity in my home!
The house was supposed to be a low rent place in the hood but it looked like something out of Martha Stewart Living.
Looks like Monique is doing promotional . I’m glad she learned her lesson and she is back in the spotlight she deserves
Just amazing acting when a white woman can play a black mother is a lot of talent ... It's not easy
She was playing a WW, from the Hood. She wasn't playing a BW.
She's playing a white woman with a biracial daughter.
Not them trying to make this demonic movie some deep literary masterpiece 😂
How is this literature?
Exactly!
It's a horror movie but also a family drama dealing with generations of abuse and addiction. An alcoholic single mom and her cancer stricken, ex-addict, newly Christian mother. There was a lot of heavy scenes in this movie and the acting was top notch

4:33 mmmmmmm mmmmmm Monique is pretty great
Lee only speaks about glen close and it’s weird to acknowledge a yt woman more than the black cast
Ending was garbage.
This movie was hot garbage
I have to watch it.. cause they were acting their asses off. I need to make my own conclusions but they have the intensity down.
@@wisdomseeker0142 movie was GOOD! Acting was great!
