joanna m I loved this movie and Alfre Woodard's performance. The plot and pace were not perfect, but neither is life. And that is one of the life lessons in this movie. But the beautiful conveyance of connection, healing, and love overcomes any minor missteps the film makes along the way. Let's face it; even a shirtless fantasy BlairUnderwood isn't perfect.It was a lovely journey watching Juanita find her way. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. I watch this movie three times. I do plan on watching again. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved the acting, scenery and genuine humanity of the film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/21 Full Review Geancarlo C Entretenida y con la excelente actuación de Alfre Woodard. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/20 Full Review Audience Member Juanita can say one thing: It gets a huge boost from the talents of Alfre Woodard. She can act in anything. The movie is decent to a point, but it is uneven in its script and I found myself losing interest after a while. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite it's many flaws, I LOVE this movie! Alfre Woodard was pure, sweet, solid gold. I love how she gives her all, despite some of the trite plot devices. Really, I wish I had this movie was in my life when I was 16, I would have watched it obsessively, studying Juanitas spiritual awakening. And there's even a musical number!

Critics Reviews

Kathleen Sachs Chicago Reader I''m thankful that I took a chance on it. With plenty to discover, I'm already eager to continue exploring worlds to which I wouldn't otherwise be privy. Sep 26, 2020 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Very middle of the road movie... Alfred Woodard is very good in it. Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Nadine Matthews Shadow and Act Mothers in American cinema are either deified or demonized," something Juanita successfully avoids doing. Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Charles Koplinski Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam Woodard is wonderful and Adam Beach portrays Native American Indian Jess, a local chef, with great authenticity. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Nov 14, 2020 Full Review Alexandra MacAaron Women's Voices for Change The radiant Alfre Woodard stars as a woman who is fed up - with her unemployed grown children, dreary job at a nursing home, non-existent love life. She finally stands up for herself, forging unlikely new friendships in a new community. Rated: 7.5/10 May 6, 2019 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Alfre Woodard saves formulaic tale; cursing, drinking. Rated: 3/5 Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
