Face of an Angel
Face of an Angel is a very touching film about Dorothy Dandridge played by Halle Berry. It tells the story of a beautiful woman who made some terrible decisions both in her career and her personal life. We are given some valuable insights into her life, her actress mother and 'special friend' who terrorised her childhood and teenage years, her absent father, her mentally diasabled daughter, failed marriages, affairs, and ultimately addiction.

Through the failed relationships and marriages there is one man who wants to protect her, her manger Earl Mills, played by Brent Spiner. Spiner's acting is superb and very touching, this film makes you wonder why we do not see more of this man in film. There are some particularly moving scenes in which Dorothy Dandridge hits rock bottom, Earl Mills finds her, comforts her and sings to her. We discover that her manger loves her but to what extent is left unclear.

This film is a must see for any Berry or Spiner fans out there, and if you haven't heard of either of them, BUY THIS FILM, you don't know what you are missing.
