yeah, thats the one.
He made a film on it, with the talents of MoNique (who gives a career-turning, bone-chilling performance, I heard) Lenny Kravitz, Paula Patton and Mariah Carey.

You mean the one based on the Sapphire novel?

Comment by Golem_3 on May 19, 2009 at 6:26pm

Did anybody see Lee Daniel's latest film Push?
I think it only screened at Sundance.
