Farah R. @Farah Jan 20, 2026 Grounded in the stellar performances of its lead actresses, Waiting to Exhale offers an impactful tale of womanhood. It does get a bit too melodramatic at times, but it works with the orchestral score and vintage look of the 90s. See more Renaissance M @RenaissanceMan Jan 15, 2026 Reasonably good, if a bit soap opera-ish. It tells the story of four friends over the course of a year. It does focus exclusively on romance as a means to improve one's life in a way that feels regressive today, but not bad overall. See more moon s @moon90 Jan 9, 2026 beautiful cast of angela bassett, whitney houston, lela rochon and loretta devine. i admire angelas and savannah's strength and wish the best for robin, but i absolutely love the kind and humanizing nature of gloria, her voice is so sweet, the 2 hr long movie is several stories tied into one making you feel like a lesson learned through others lives, a must watch and a 90s classic See more Shakera T @Shakikiiiiiii Dec 30, 2025 Absolutely loved it! Black womanhood and friendship personified. Also very nostalgic! Amazing soundtrack also. See more VITALII H @freakynickison Dec 23, 2025 Watched it for the first time and definitely not for the last. The movie felt so cozy, funny, true and simple that it lightened up my mood. It’s about the marriage, friendship and livelihood in general. I absolutely loved the music that was used in it. I really enjoyed this film and didn’t want it to end. See more Geoff M @madsongeoff Oct 16, 2025 There's less context than in McMillan's novel, and more lingerie. But the theme of (black) women searching for acceptance and empowerment is equally strong, especially in Angela Bassett's gale-force performance as Bernadine. See more Read all reviews
