5 Reasons To See “Sparkle”
1. Whitney Houston
Whitney is compelling as “Emma,” the girls’ no-nonsense mother with a sordid past, and wisdom they won’t appreciate until later in life. With all the praise Whitney gets for her extraordinary singing ability, you forget what a talented actress she was. She shines in “Sparkle” enough to remind you.

I just saw it, good movie. I highly recommend it.
Carmen Ejojo in her “first role”?!! Are you serious? I remember her from “Lackawanna Blues”, “Pride and Glory” and the HBO Bio on Martin Luther King Jr., “Boycott”, where she worked w/ her husband Jeffrey Wright. She’s got about 20 more acting credits behind her name. Please research your subjects before you write your articles.
She wrote first MAJOR role. Not discounting her past acting credits.
The author has gone back and edited her article.
She was also the lead in movie about Thomas Jefferson and his mistress. It didn’t go to the movies but I would consider it a major role.
My other comment appears to have been lost in space. This is not Carmen Ejogo’s first role. A quick review of IMDB shows at least 20 acting credits to her name.
It was a good movie. I enjoyed it and I thought the movie delivered in its own way.
