Having been a member of Black Churches for all of 50 years and a delegate to Church Conventions, this movie is an excellent portrayal of how some of (probably most of) Black Churches are run today. I personally know many ministers who only want the power and money. This movie also reinforces my observation of the Black Church that since it is made up mostly of women,the minister all too often becomes the object of their desire and he becomes a sex object whether he is married or not. The acting in this movie is superb. All of the plots and sub-plots were positioned perfectly in my opinion. Anyhow, get this movie. Especially if you are or have been a member of a Black Church. You will be entertained!

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
