One More Review


In addition to Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom, I also got to see the new Lee Daniels’ film, “Tennessee,” which features Mariah Carrey. The film is about two Brothers who set out on a road trip to their childhood home in a desperate search for their father, who may hold the key to their future. Along the way, they are joined by Krystal (Mariah Carey), who is trying to escape a difficult life. These unlikely traveling companions are guided in their mutual journey by the conviction that the only way to a new life is overcoming their past.

The film was ok, and Mariah was great as the character. I love the way that Lee Daniels always ends a film, with a question mark so you never know if there will be a Part 2. I can’t wait to see his next film, “Push,” it is going to screen while I am at Sundance. After the film there was Q&A with Lee Daniels and Mariah Carrey.
