Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle -
The effect is like watching an opera without music. Or a musical drama in which no one sings. These departures from a realistic convention never feel like static set pieces - that's the great success of the film and of the poems themselves.

|
Charlotte Observer -
The writer-director waited until he had the clout, budget and prestige to attract a top-flight cast, then turned Colored Girls into a movie with a little less darkness but plenty of heart and guts.

|
Orlando Sentinel -
Perry's great gift to this unfilmable play is getting it on the screen, his sharp eye for casting and his evident affection and sympathy for black womanhood, even in movies in which he doesn't don a dress.

|
Movieline -
Perry weaves together not just the individual stories but their arcs, sustaining the emotional tenor across the progress of nine lives.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
Perry tries to be faithful to the play and also to his own boldly and simply told stories, and the two styles don't fit together.
