In Blitz Bazawule’s adaptation of Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple,” a seamless fusion of prior adaptations creates a captivating hybrid. Tracking Celie’s life through Phylicia Pearl Mpasi and Fantasia Barrino’s portrayals, the film delves into themes of abuse and the resilience found in sisterhood. Stellar performances by Mpasi, Barrino, and Danielle Brooks as Sofia bring emotional depth to the characters, but Taraji P. Henson’s Shug falls short with noticeable overacting.
