Leave your thoughts about Waiting to Exhale.
| Salon.comJoan WalshThe male-bashing taken to an extreme in Waiting to Exhale is starting to seem a little like crack for the female psyche, exhilarating in the short term but ultimately crippling and dangerous. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyStylish but shallow melodrama, based on McMillan's best-seller. |
| Film ScoutsLeslie RigoulotIs there a woman alive who hasn't demanded an explanation from the Almighty about the losers that she keeps getting? |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisThere's less context than in McMillan's novel, and more lingerie. But the theme of (black) women searching for acceptance and empowerment is equally strong, especially in Angela Bassett's gale-force performance as Bernadine. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarry WaltersFour main female characters trudging through a movie's worth of similar repeated blunders adds up to one scary truckload of drama. |
| CinematterMadeleine WilliamsOverall, the film never quite hints at answers or even much comprehension of the problems, but it should fit the bill for those looking for empathic communion, or those simply wanting to bash men. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaWhitney Houston's alleged dramatic acting and dull, uninvolving storyline weighs down the virtues of the film. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaI saw this movie in a room full of San Francisco movie critics, and I haven't heard that much laughter since, well, the piano duet in "Island of Dr. Moreau" (which you must admit, was pretty funny.) |
| Detroit NewsSusan StarkFor all the pleasure there is in seeing effective, great-looking black women grappling with major life issues on screen, Waiting to Exhale is an uneven piece. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWith the exception of Bernadine, I never felt anything for the women populating this film, as they failed to capture my interest or sympathy. |
