    Tastefully Done!

    Many times a biopic will play up the drama and sensationalize the subjects' lives. In this instance, I felt like I got what I came for...yes, it was a "musical", it's the CLARK Sisters. But I also got a glimpse of the struggles of being great. Any time you have a group of relatives in business together, there will be misunderstandings, misuse of each other, and mistakes. But God. If you persevere by His Anointing and not just relying upon your weak humanity, you will fulfill God's purpose for your life. I enjoyed it very much. I will take 2 stars for the lack of development/depth of certain character arcs. But overall, a well done effort.

    Great cast and acting!

    Was a great film, from beginning to end. The cast did an excellent job performing The Clark Sister's story. It's a must see!

    Great

    Wow!!! I love the Clark sisters. I learned a few things that I didn't know. And to the critics who say its too much singing, then you really shouldn't comment, because they are a gospel singing group. Singing is what they do. I actually loved the movie.

    Great movie but should have been longer

    The last quarter of the movie felt extremely rushed and didn't provide the details of the events it mashed together at the end. Wish they would have done a 3 part movie similar to some of BETs past movies because this story definitely deserved it. Overall though awesome movie and all the ladies did great. Wonderful singing and beautiful tribute!

      Kierra Sheard-Kelly plays her real-life mother Karen Clark Sheard.
    • Goofs
      When Karen is singing her first solo for UNAC she is seen holding the mic closer to the bottom then the camera angle changes to her back and she is holding the microphone from the very top. When it shifts back to the front she is again holding it lower. As she sings and the camera angles change her hand moves up higher on the microphone.
