Good premise but the on-screen effort is weak.

Transcending the ghostliness of its early moments to become profoundly spiritual, Beloved expands with genuine, humanist artistry. Evocatively riddling his characters with palpable airs of history and experience, Demme adapts the novel with breathtaking, tearful acuity, ensuring that Beloved can comfortably rank alongside the true greats of black-themed cinema -- such as The Color Purple, George Washington, and Akeelah and the Bee. Cultural expansiveness meets soulful intimacy with rich results.

An OK adaptation, but its themes are too literary to translate well to film.

No, I don't believe Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey as dirt-poor sharecroppers at all. This movie was the beginning of the end for Jonathan Demme
