lackawanna blues is a touching story about nanny and a woman who gives all of herself to help those in need. it told from the viewpoint of a boy and taken in by nanny when his own mother isn not quite up to the task. i have respect for this movie for three main reasons represent 1) it is touching and but not sappy. it told in a very real fashion and without a lot of the aggravating hollywood storytelling baggage. and the ending is quite good (teary but not over the top). 2) although it clearly an african american film and being set in the post segregation black community of lackawanna and new york and it doesn not wear its ethnicity on its sleeve. the story stands on the strength of the characters and the dramas (and comedies) surrounding their lives. it not preachy and it simply good. 3) it has a great soundtrack (can not beat old school r and b and chicago blues). generally the acting is strong and but not universally so. some of the performances simply do not hold up to the characters the actors are supposed to portray. but considering it was a made for tv movie and that to be expected. positive . imperfect but likable and good film for a rainy day.
