“Color Purple” Not For Me…No Offense

Is there any way to say that I’m not especially interested in submitting to The Color Purple without sounding like a shitty, closed-off person?

The answer is probably “no”. And so most critics have decided to submit and “enjoy” and just, you know, roll with it. Simpler that way.

I know myself and my cinematic standards, and I can always sense or intuit that a certain film will almost certainly be, for me, a very difficult watch.

Honestly? I didn’t even like the 38-year-old Steven Spielberg version, which many critics have said is allegedly superior to the Blitz Bazawule newbie.
