"With great advance buzz from devotees of the book and a stellar cast, the film was on many a must-see list. The reaction afterwards was curious — people who had never read the book loved the heck out of the movie, while people who knew the book cover-to-cover were disappointed with the oversimplified plot and dramatic shift in tone, making the story more about how the white characters came to the rescue of the black characters. No one disputed the lead actresses talents, but many were left insulted by what the movie had done to the book’s story.
