This is the movie in which Halle Berry should have won the Oscar instead of Monster's Ball. The many personalities that she displayed within the movie were realistic and believable. Berry demonstrated hurt, pain, confusion, and delirium. Excellent acting job.
The story's plot was so-so. I couldn't understand exactly what was the trauma that caused Frankie to split into different people. How was she able to hold down a job? Even though it was just a sleazy exotic dancer job, how could Frankie perform and dance in an environment filled with Black people when racist Alice was lurking about with her persistent fear of Negros? Also, why did Frankie's sister dislike Frankie so much? What did Frankie do to her? Overlooking the storyline, my focus was on Berry's acting. Top notch. I am sorry it took over four years for the film to be released for nationwide viewing, but it was worth the wait. Halle Berry has shown in this movie that she can act with the best of them....good job Halle.
