Excellent film on the Unforgettable Natalie Cole

Love this small screen biopic of singer\actress Natalie Cole. Considering this was a television film, the production values are very good. All of the leads, Natalie Cole, Diahann Carroll and Theresa Randall do an excellent job here. Carroll embodies the "coldness" of Maria Cole. Randall made me forget I was watching an actress. And of course Natalie kills it as herself (lol). Robert Townsend does the directing duties here. And the use of Natalie's real music helps the authenticity of the film, not to mention she's telling her own story as well. Overall, just a good movie.

Wonderful & Warm

I saw this film when it first premiered on TV around Christmas 2000. I was never much of a Natalie Cole fan until I saw this and now, I have lots of her albums! She is an inspiration to all of us who have struggled with addiction and failing marriages, etc. How great it is for a star of her caliber to have been so honest! Most interesting is her relationship with her mother. She's a great singer now I think she's a great human. Of her relationship with her mother she is so touching in the film when she says she had to accept her mother was "only human". I highly recommend this even if you are not a big fan. Also poignant is the part where "young' Natalie leaves rehab and we see the "real" Natalie.
