User Review - 8/10 by Cynthia SThis is a touching, beautifully sad story. Fabulous acting. Nice scenery. Regina Taylor, Cherry Jones, and Cch Pounder did a really nice job. Sad, sad turn of events, though. Not a very happy movie...
User Review - 8/10 by Denise HPowerful movie of love that transcended the color-line in a small town in Iowa during the 1930's. Regina Taylor (Emmy nominee and Golden Globe winner) plays a household domestic for a well-to-do white family. She has a small daughter who dies at an early age and, in her grief, she turns to her employer's small daughter (Jesse) for solace. Little Jesse is not as "bright" as her social-climbing mother would like and is constantly pushed to "fit in". Jesse's father goes to/from work and is largely uninvolved with both household issues and the raising of his children. When Jesse grows up she meets a nice Greek boy in the town and they plan to marry. Father is fine with that plan but Mother is appalled ("loss of social standing"). Jesse confides to Cora that she's pregnant by Willie (the young Greek man) and mother whisks her too to the big city for some "shopping". When they return, Jesse is broken--physically and emotionally. Cora wants to comfort her but Mother suddenly acquires a sense of motherhood and shuts Cora out. You must watch this movie to see the end result of a mother's arrogance and a friend's love.
User Review - 6/10 by Erica WThe story was compelling but it wasn't the most realistic.
User Review - 6/10 by Missy MAn interesting adaptation of a 2-page short story by Langston Hughes. Worth the watch.
User Review - 6/10 by Kelly KThis is one of those tales that tug at your heart strings. "Cora Unashamed" is a movie of love, lost and most of all courage. With such wonderful acting and beautiful scenery, it is definitely worth seeing.
