| A close and dear friend of mine asked if I have received the movie, "Truth Hall?", by mail. I answered, "No", not really knowing what she was talking about. She explained that she had been out for the evening and met someone who was associated with this movie about five African American women who reunite as one of them is getting married.
This movie has many twist and turns, which captures the viewer. Each one is beautiful, smart, educated and successful. However the drama unfolds as its soon discovered that each one has a secret. To reveal the secrets would give away the movie.
According to the bio: "Truth Hall" is the winner of multiple awards including the International Black Film Festival's Audience Choice Award, the International Black Film Festival's Best Feature Award, San Diego Black Film Festival's Best Comedy Award, among others.
There was a "Special Screening" at Atlanta Pride, Los Angeles Pride, the Dinah Shore Weekend and for a Vegas-based lesbian organization.

Personally, I didn't find this film to be a comedy on any level. Yes, of course, there are moments when you laugh, cry and smile, as the film deals with real life situations.
Overall it's a great movie to see, perhaps with your girlfriends, gay and/or straight. I'm not sure that the straight men will enjoy this flick but the gay guys definitely will.
Ms. Jade Jenise Dixon, the director, writer, actor and executive producer has been called the female Spike Lee and Tyler Perry. She's in great company but this gifted beautiful lady of color is doing it her own way. The word "unique" comes to mind.
This film has been received well and has captured the gay and straight audience. In 2008, Ms. Dixon was nominated at the Pan African Film and Arts Festival for "Best Director -First Feature Film".
