Waiting to Exhale (1995) is currently available on Tubi and tells the tale of a group of friends that get back together again when one of them is going through to tumultuous divorce. All of their love lives have struggles but getting together sharpens their lens to take the next step forward in life and for peace of mind. This movie is directed by Forest Whitaker (Hope Floats) and stars Whitney Houston (The Bodyguard), Angela Bassett (Strange Days), Loretta Devine (Crash), Lela Rochon (Any Given Sunday) and Gregory Hines (Running Scared). This film does a magnificent job showing the world from the strong black female perspective. The film does a great job highlighting challenges, vulnerability, strength and drive. The cast delivers outstanding performances and the script was well written and the delivery was perfection. The soundtrack is also legendary. This film has one of the most awkward sex scenes I ever saw. Definitely made me cover my face and cringe. 😂 The men in this are all appropriately awkward and terrible - every line by the men is painful. Overall this is a triumphant movie with a great story that is a must see film. I'd score this a 10/10 and consider it an American motion picture masterpiece.
