Watch Life Support For Free

Too much of everything

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The true-life story of a mother who overcame an addiction to crack and became a positive role model and an AIDS activist in the black community. Life Support has it's fair share of good moments but also a very good message that it doesn't develop as well as it could also Queen Latifah does a pretty good job in the lead role but the dramatic parts and the storyline as a whole was flawed and quite disappointing since it tried way hard sometimes to make you shed a tear. Overall it's a TV Movie of course and unfortunately it shows like alot of times. (3.0/10)

Now listen this was a great movie. It had that festival feel to it (kinda indish) so I had to send big ups to the folks that produced the project.Here is what I really want to comment on is when the movie starts you can't tell me that queen is not speaking from a personal place. She is doing that role. We need to figure out how to provide more opportunities for our brothers and sisters to play in Hollywood. Not just our A-listers, but some of the new comers. This great work would not have been done had we not had players in the game. I imagine there are millions of stories that can't be told, because we are too busy buying hotel rooms and eating in fancy banquet halls for our conventions. We should be using our monies to invest in our businesses and our stories. And then when we have an opportunity to tell our stories we have to hire our folks to tell it -film it, light it, grip it, transpo it, edit it and score it. Well, I'm done.

This is a very moving performance by the multi-talented Queen! I liked her before, and I think this is better than her in Chicago. This is real, and she is keepin' that way!This movie is not just for one race, but for everyone, and she moves me in a way I cannot feel like crying. AIDS, and HIV is a difficult topic for African Americans, let alone everyone else, and she seems to have no problem with portraying an HIV positive woman, trying to help the world. Ms. Wallace........aka Queen Latifa, is great in this performance. It is educational, and yet it need ed to be addressed at some point over the past 30 years without an HIV positive person suffering a horrid death, as she is living her life.

Queen Latifah is truly outstanding on this biopic about a former drug addict who becomes HIV+ and now devotes her life to helping others avoid or deal with the disease.But, it is not just the social work that is compelling, it is the fact that even social workers have real lives that intersect with and compete with their duties.We feel Ana's pain as she tries to convince her sisters in the community to deal realistically with the AIDS epidemic that is the leading cause of death for black women between 24-35. At the same time, she is dealing with a husband that infected her when they were both crack addicts. She is also trying to raise a young daughter, while trying to reconnect with a daughter she lost during her drug-use period. It's almost more than a normal person can handle, and seemingly impossible for a reformed drug-user.Queen Latifah is assisted by a great cast that includes Wendell Pierce (Ray, "The Wire), Gloria Reuben ("ER"), and newcomer Rachel Nicks.
