Leave your thoughts about Mahogany.
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanforda perfect companion piece to 'Dreamgirls'... Sitting through it is like flipping through your high school yearbook and laughing out loud at what was once considered stylish or sophisticated. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyAn outrageously bad '70s soaper with Anthony Perkins providing some big unintentional laughs as a psycho fashion photographer. |
| Slant MagazineDan CallahanEven a charming last-minute happy ending can't quite redeem all the mess and unidentified dread. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithWow! How far did Diana fall? Great song, though. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickWith fashion and a passionate love story as a backdrop to a wonderfully acted narrative, Mahogany is simply fabulous. |
| User ReviewJason SThese words will live forever with me "Success is nothing without someone to share it with" that is power that just can't be explained in a sentence. |
| User ReviewKevin MThis movie is a SCREAM! Diana and Billy Dee just had all kinds of crazy chemistry. |
| User ReviewHugh BThe ultimate in vanity projects! The Divine Miss Ross at her diva best! |
| User ReviewJoy BWhat!! Billy Dee Williams and Diana Ross, Shall I say more. |
| User ReviewAdrian SI guess when this movie was released it was unthinkable that a black woman could become a super model. Iman was just breaking into the runway scene, and Naomi Campbell was still a twinkle in her mother's eye. This movie has the superficial feel of movies of the time, and was probably rejected by critics because it didn't follow the 'Blaxploitation' formula of the day but instead dared to put a black women as the lead for a script written for young white girls and their dreams of being a famous fashion model in Paris and Rome. True, some of the acting and lines are cringe-worthy, but the fantasy of going to Europe and becoming famous was so infectious that it motivated me to dream of doing the same (and fueled my personal memory-laden hitch-hiking journey throughout Europe in the late 1980s). This is a fun-filled trip of the funky times of the 70s and complemented the disco movement, bell-bottoms pants, bright fruit colors, Afros, you name it. A comfortable world I visit regularly when I need a feel-good lift. And the ending scene is a great lip-syncing moment to re-enact over and over and over again!! And 'Mahogany', "you've got my vote!" |
