Movie Description
A father's philandering nature is only one of several problems for a black southern family, but, to 9 year-old Eve, it is the most immediate. As her suspicions deepen, so does her desire to bring the infidelity to an end, even if it means calling down justice on its perpetrator. A stylish, southern Gothic tale of family discord and coming of age by first-time writer/director Lemmons.

      More of a mystery movie

    I like the setting in New Orleans. The actor Samuel Jackson was great!! I think it was to sexual for the younger girls to encounter. I really didn't care to much about that part.

    The reason I purchased it was because I saw a preview of it on one of the DVD's I had purchased and I wanted to see it.

    For me it took too long to receive product from the time I paid & ordered it. ALSO they were supposed to notify me about tracking item w/ a number & NEVER DID. Just told me item had been shipped after contacting them (2 WEEKS) after they confirmed my order.

    This is one of my all time favorite movies. There is nothing I dislike about it. The acting is superb, the script is intelligent and moving , and the cinematography draws you in like you are an unseen observor who can take in the sights, sounds, and smells. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend renting or better yet, buying it today. If you like quality films you won't be disappointed. Promise.

      EVE'S BAYOU
    Review created: 12/08/06

    HAD SEEN MOVIE BEFORE BUT SLEPT THE SURPIRISING CINEMATOGRAPHY. THE ACTING AND THE TONE OF THE EDITING AND DIALOGUE WERE AMONG SOME OF THE BETTER MOVIES I HAD SEEN, JUST NOT REGISTERED. DESERVES A SECOND (AND THIRD) LOOK. I ONLY BUY MOVIES THAT HAVE THAT CHARACTER: YOU JUST KEEP SEEING MORE AND MORE THE MORE DEEPLY YOU LET IT SINK IN.IT ALSO CAPTURED SOMETHING NOT OFTEN DEPICTED IN MOVIES OF BLACK FAMILIES IN THE SOUTH DURING THOSE YEARS. A RICH, COMPLEX AND HIGHLY INTENSE AND INTELLIGENT CULTURE, TO SAY THE VERY LEAST.

    This movie is an excellent movie that I have watched over and over again. It deals with a doctor, who uses his job to have affairs with other women while his wife is in total blind to the fact until her daughter, opens her eyes to what her husband is doing. The aunt is able to see things,in the furture and in the past and has passed that gift down to her niece.One of the women that he is having an affair with brings about his death.
