Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Dusan Petrovic I just love Halle and this movie. This movie was inspired by the true story about the therapy of Anna O by Froyd ( Vienna's shrink and the father of introspection ). He'd been experimentising with hypnose, because he had believed that it would help Anna ( mental patient ) to get better. After a long treatment, he'd succeded in his goal and helped Anna to controle her ealness. After that she'd become a very successful social worker. I would like to thank my first shrink Natasha Caran at Vojvoda Stepa's street, Vozdovac, Belgrade,SR Yugoslavia for everything she had done for me. After seventeen years of treatment, the only thing i could say: " Natasha, I'm alive bacause of you". That was a time and the end of one era. The Yugoslav president Miloshevic'd been taken to the Hag and Vojislav Koshtunica 'd become the new president of Yugoslavia. That was a great victory for democracy and human rights. It was the new beginning and a dawn of another era for Serbian people. P.S. Free your mind. Greetings from Belgrade, Serbia. Sincerelly, yours Dushan Petrovich.

SnoopyStyle Frankie (Halle Berry) is a stripper with multiple personality disorder in 1970s. After an incident, she seeks help from Dr. Oz (Stellan Skarsgård). She lives with her mother Edna Murdoch (Phylicia Rashad) and sister Maxine (Chandra Wilson). She is haunted by memories and forgotten traumas. She disrupts Paige Prescott's wedding and gets thrown in jail. She gets Dr. Oz to evaluate her. She starts to remember her work as the Prescotts' maid and an illicit affair with Paige's brother.This is built for Halle Berry to do some acting work but it isn't much more than that. The secret memories aren't that compelling. It becomes one acting scene from Halle to another. There is an intriguing white racist personality which digs a little deeper and is something different. The story has no drive and no tension.

MovieHoliks I can't believe I had never heard of this movie that came out five years ago!??? What a find! I saw this on Netflix and added to my queue awhile back, but for some reason, had forgotten that this was one a friend had recommended to me. This is one of those little films that didn't get much attention when it came out, but surely will be used to educate about multiple personality disorder or D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder) in the future, if it's not already.Oscar winner Halle Berry gives a really interesting complex performance as the titular character(s), a go-go dancer in 1973, who after a couple run-ins with the law, ends up in a mental institute being treated by a psychoanalyst (Stellan Skarsgard), who thinks he may know what her problem is. He discovers multiple layers within the one person, and very methodically begins to put together the pieces of the puzzle that may have caused the disorder in the first place. I've seen a few other films about D.I.D. over the years, and this is one of the better ones. My only issue with this- *possible SPOILER* - is the ending. It just seemed like this movie didn't really end, it just sorta stops abruptly- and not the most satisfactory. Phylisha Rashad co-stars.

anitalansing-40-581915 This is the movie in which Halle Berry should have won the Oscar instead of Monster's Ball. The many personalities that she displayed within the movie were realistic and believable. Berry demonstrated hurt, pain, confusion, and delirium. Excellent acting job.The story's plot was so-so. I couldn't understand exactly what was the trauma that caused Frankie to split into different people. How was she able to hold down a job? Even though it was just a sleazy exotic dancer job, how could Frankie perform and dance in an environment filled with Black people when racist Alice was lurking about with her persistent fear of Negros? Also, why did Frankie's sister dislike Frankie so much? What did Frankie do to her? Overlooking the storyline, my focus was on Berry's acting. Top notch. I am sorry it took over four years for the film to be released for nationwide viewing, but it was worth the wait. Halle Berry has shown in this movie that she can act with the best of them....good job Halle.
