REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 25-Mar-2006)

Eve's Bayou was an excellent film about the descendants of an African American woman and a wealthy Frenchman in Louisiana. The family in the film consists of an upper middle class physician, his wife, and their two young daughters. The cinematography is beautiful and the young girl who plays Eve is equally beautiful with her pretty "mixed girl-curly wavy hair". Voodoo spirituality is a major theme in the film. It was refreshing to see an upper middle class African American family and the beautiful style that the women had. I am multiracial and I loved this film. It gives insight into a part of African American history that defies stereotypes. These characters are beautiful and complex. Excellent film.
