Review of Eve's Bayou (1997) by Sarah M — 11 Oct 2008
The narrator informs us that she killed her father in the summer of '62, and we are taken back to that summer on a house on a bayou inhabited by the young girl and her family which is headed by her kind, respected and philandering father.
Rich characterizations, strong dialogue, clever scripting, great performances, and flavorful cajun locations and personalities make this an experience not to be missed, and one the most criminally overlooked films of all time.
It deserves to be added to the canon of great films. Evidence that African-American films need not be stupid or less worthy, and a welcome relief from "hood movies." A masterpiece.
