Summary The TV movie recounts the story of the Staple sisters (Christina Bell, Kierra Sheard, Sheléa Frazier, Raven Goodwin, and Angela Birchett) rise in the Gospel music industry.
Top Cast
The women who play the sisters are singers, and not as experienced in acting, including Kierra 'Kiki' Sheard, who plays her mother, Karen Clark Sheard. They struggle at times with the dialogue as the film shifts quickly from one intense conflict to the next. But Ellis holds on to the movie the way Dr. Mattie held on to the music; she wills it into excellence with the help of the glorious music and the spirit that lifts it and us higher.
The vocal performances soar, but the story seems to be the same one America idolizes in its young successes. Domestic abuse, poverty, and an uphill battle tracks through all of the great Black American vocalist biopics, like Ray, What’s Love Got to Do With It, and Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.
