'Black Nativity', A Faith-Based Holiday Offering

JACOB LATIMORE

By Darlene Donloe

Black Nativity is the perfect offering for the holiday season.

In theaters today, Black Nativity, written and directed by Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou), is based on the play by Langston Hughes.

The faith-based film, produced by T.D. Jakes, is a musical about a resentful teen (Jacob Latimore) who is forced to live with his devout grandparents (Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett) when his mother (Jennifer Hudson) hits on hard times.

There are lots of references to religion and faith in this film which is, depending on what side of the fence you’re on, either fabulous or a pain in the neck.

JENNIFER HUDSON and JACOB LATIMORE

Naima (Jennifer Hudson) is a single woman raising a teenage son. When she falls on hard times she sends her son, Langston, to live with her estranged parents, played by Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett. Naima ran away from home after becoming pregnant, a condition, of course, that was not met with approval by her father. They haven’t spoken since. 

Langston finds it difficult to fit into his new environment. His grandfather is the pastor of a church and expects Langston to attend services as well.

MARY J BLIGE

Along the way, Langston gets into trouble and is thrown in jail. While there he meets a man, someone he thinks is a thug, who will come to play a significant role in his life.

The ‘thug’ is played by Tyrese Gibson.

This movie is about good and evil, about love, about pain, about doing the right thing, about forgiveness, but most of all about family and love.

To bring all of the elements together, there is a holiday service at the Reverend’s church.  There is where folks come to understand and to pardon misunderstandings, to comprehend and where all is revealed.

Mary J Blige makes an appearance as an angelic congregant, one of many religious symbols throughout the film.

The music in the film, which helps to advance the story, is like another character. Everyone in the films gets a chance to warble a bit. Of course, Jennifer Hudson blows the roof off. Latimore also gets it going, as does Gibson. But, even though at one time he wanted to sing opera, it’s Forest Whitaker rockin the mic that surprises. 

JACOB LATIMORE, ANGELA BASSETT, JENNIFER HUDSON and FOREST WHITAKER

This latest Black Nativity version retains the heart and soul of Langston Hughes’ work.

Black Nativity (Fox Searchlight Pictures) is written and directed by Kasi Lemmons and  based on the play by Langston Hughes. It stars Forest Whitaker (Rev. Cornell Cobbs), Angela Bassett (Aretha Cobbs), Tyrese Gibson (Loot/Tyson), Jacob Latimore (Langston), Mary J. Blige (Angel), Nasir Jones (Street Prophet Isaiah), Vondie Curtis-Hall (Pawnbroker), Jennifer Hudson (Naima), Luke James (Jo-Jo) and Grace Gibson (Maria). 

Kudos to Lemmons, who assembled a convincing and affecting cast.  

PG: Language, violence. Running time: 1 hour 35 minutes.

On the DONLOE SCALE: D (don’t bother), O (oh, no), N (needs work), L (likeable), O (OK) and E (excellent) Black Nativity gets an O (OK).

PAFF Set To Honor Film Publicist Roz Stevenson

 THE PAN AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL SET TO HONOR INDUSTRY TRAILBLAZERS

LOS ANGELES – The Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) will honor two industry innovators for their impact and influence in the film industry. Studio film publicist Roz Stevenson of Roz Stevenson Public Relations and Jeff Clanagan of CodeBlack Enterprises will be honored at the festival’s annual  Night of Tribute ceremony during the festival’s run.
