The play is a three-hander with Daisy, Hoke and Boolie the only visible characters, so we lose Boolie's wife Florine, the cook Idella, etc (they and others are referred to but not seen). This of course makes for a tighter script, but I feel that the film built solidly on what was already a decent enough (and Pulitzer-winning) story, and of course could show us what Atlanta actually looks like in a way that can only be conveyed less directly on stage. Apart from that, all the good lines from the film are here, and I think it's possibly the script least changed from the original material of any of the films I have seen.… (mehr)

A wonderful, evocative and heart-warming story about an elderly white Jewish widow living in the US state of Georgia in the 1950s, and her driver, brilliantly played by Morgan Freeman. No fast action, but character growth, increased understanding, and a beautifully made film. Some mild humour in places, some poignancy, and plenty to think about.

Very highly recommended.
