Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent.Release Date: 05/25/2004Run time: 108 minutesRating: Ur
Amazon.com essential video:
Actress Kasi Lemmons made an auspicious debut as a writer and director with this delicately handled, wrenchingly emotional drama, hailed by critic Roger Ebert as one of the best films of 1997. Eve's Bayou begins with ominous narration: "The summer I killed my father, I was 10 years old." From that point the story moves backward in time and memory to Louisiana in 1962, when a young girl named Eve (Jurnee Smollett) witnesses a shocking act on the part of her womanizing father (Samuel L. Jackson). But what really happened? And can Eve be certain about what she saw when there is more than one interpretation of the facts? Less a mystery than a study of deeply rooted emotions rising to the surface to affect an entire family, the film has the quality of classic Southern literature, with layers of memory unfolding to reveal a carefully guarded truth. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - Where's Debbi's Oscar?
Director Kasi Lemmons creates a movie that should be admired by greats such as Spielberg and Scorese. Eve's Bayou is riveting and captivating, leaving the audience engaged at every turn and begging for more of these characters by the end. In an almost dream-like Louisiana setting, Eve's Bayou provides an cinematic orgasm of eyes and mind.
