Extraordinary performance by Oprah Winfrey...
“The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” is an adaptation of the bestselling nonfiction book by Rebecca Skloot. The story is told from the point-of-view of Henrietta Lacks’ daughter, Deborah Lacks (Oprah Winfrey). The film chronicles her search, along with journalist Rebecca Skloot (Rose Byrne), to learn about the mother she never knew and understand how the unauthorized harvesting of Lacks’ cancerous cells led to unprecedented medical breakthroughs, changing countless lives and the face of medicine forever. The tale deals with medical arrogance and triumph, race, poverty, and friendships between the unlikeliest of people.<br /><br />Henrietta Lacks was 31 and a mother of five children when she died at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins hospital of cervical cancer in 1951. The doctors there took a sample of her malignant tissues as part of their search for a line of cells that were able to survive and reproduce outside the body, and thus make possible medical experiments that they were not able to perform on living bodies. Henrietta’s cells were perfect, and became the basis for new treatments for diseases such as tuberculosis, flu, herpes. Aids, and for the development of chemotherapy.<br /><br />Ms. Winfrey (“The Color Purple”) turns in a heart-wrenching performance as Deborah, a woman given to violent temper outbursts, frustrated as being unable to obtain information about her mother after years of trying, and yearning for her lost mother. Deborah is a damaged woman from a combination of loss, lies told to her, condescension from the white establishment, and injustice. Ms. Winfrey immerses herself so deeply into the character that, after a few minutes, we accept her completely as Deborah. This is not the smiling, glamorous Oprah we know from TV, but an elderly woman with a limp, closely cropped greying hair, and eyes that convey sadness. She believably captures Deborah’s dramatic mood shifts. It’s startling to watch her having a civil conversation with Skloot and then suddenly turn on her, her mood turning dark and angry. This is a finely nuanced performance that goes well below the surface. Winfrey manages to convey a lifetime of hurt and disappointment.<br /><br />The film succeeds in bringing to light the story of this nearly forgotten woman who has played such an important part in modern medicine. With Oprah Winfrey’s outstanding portrayal, the film becomes more than a mere documentary-style drama. It is the very personal story of a woman’s quest to learn the truth about a mother she lost at an early age.<br /><br />The widescreen Blu-ray release contains a conversation with Oprah Winfrey, Rose Byrne, writer/director George C. Wolfe, and members of the Lacks family about the legacy of Henrietta Lacks. A digital HD copy is enclosed.
