Bassett & Glover excel in powerful yet slow-moving South African tale
29 April 2004
BOSEMAN AND LENA (2000) **1/2 Danny Glover and Angela Bassett give excellent performances in

this adaptation of Athol Fugard's play about a hard-pressed upon

South African married couple sharing hardships and personal

demons after being ousted to the desert from their shantytown

coming to terms with their desperate (and disparate) situations.

Slow-moving and repetitive but still memorable especially for

Bassett's compassionate turn. The last film by well-respected director John Berry.
