‘The Six Triple Eight’ Review: Kerry Washington And Exceptional Ensemble Bring Honor To Tyler Perry’s Stirring True WWII Story Of Black Female Army Unit
A review of 'The Six Triple Eight' with Kerry Washington leading a unit of Black Women in WWII to sort the mail in Tyler Perry's inspiring drama
Perry’s script though first zeroes in on the human beings, particularly in opening the film back home where we meet the real life Lena Denniecott King (nicely played by Ebony Obsidian) whose budding romance with her friend Abrams is interrupted when he is sent off to war. Along the way we meet others with distinct personalities including Captain Campbell ( Milauna Jackson), Kylie Jefferson (Bernice Baker), the salty Johnnie Mae (a sharp Shanice Shantay), Dolores Washington (Sarah Jeffrey), and Elaine White (Pepi Sonuga). Cast: Kerry Washington, Ebony Obsidian, Dean Norris, Sam Waterston, Susan Sarandon, Oprah Winfrey, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Saray Jeffrey, Pepi Sonuga.
