Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker, The Color Purple spans the years 1909 to 1949, relating the life of Celie (Whoopi Goldberg), a Southern black woman virtually sold into a life of servitude to her brutal husband, sharecropper Albert (Danny Glover). Celie pours out her innermost thoughts in letter form to her sister Nettie (Akousa Busia), but Albert has been hiding the letters Nettie writes back, allowing Celie to assume that Nettie is dead. Finally, Celie finds a champion in the don't-take-no-guff Sofia (Oprah Winfrey), the wife of Glover's son from a previous marriage. Alas, Sofia is "humbled" when she is beaten into submission by angry whites. Later, Celie is able to forge a strong friendship with Albert's mistress Shug (Margaret Avery). Emboldened by this, Celie begins rifling through her husband's belongings and finds Nettie's letters. Able at last to stand up to her husband, Celie leaves him to search for a new life on her own. A major box-office hit, The Color Purple was nominated for eleven Oscars. The film was co-produced by Quincy Jones, who also wrote the score. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Review For The Color Purple
It is a great, warm, hard, unforgiving, triumphant movie, and there is not a scene that does not shine with the love of the people who made it.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times

The Color Purple ultimately has about as much to meaningfully say about the American South, race, and misogyny as Jaws has to say about the governing extents of small-town municipalities.
Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine

...a powerful and poignant motion picture. (Blu-ray Book Edition)
John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis

...we can forgive Spielberg his indulgences when the outcome is so profoundly moving.
John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis

Inspiring, sentimental tale of survival.
Randy White-Common Sense Media

Spielberg may not have been the best choice to direct this feminist text, making a clean, neat movie that lacks authenticity, but the movie has many touching moments and the entire female ensemble is good, particularly Whoopi Goldberg in the second half
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com

Overrated, but still a good film.
Alex Sandell-Juicy Cerebellum

Brilliant, disturbing storytelling by Spielberg with standout performances.
Steve Crum-Kansas City Kansan

When The Color Purple was nominated for eleven Oscars and awarded none, Steven Spielberg fans were outraged.
