Loved it

Empire Waist is a good uplifting heartwarming movie. It is a movie for people of all ages. The cast was amazing I especially loved seeing Tabyana Ali play Honor. It is a movie I would definitely go see again & recommend to others. It makes you feel all the emotions. Some people may remember how they felt when they were in the same place those in the movie were in & how you felt back then. Maybe to some this is a movie you watch you had been about to see back when you were a teenager in school. Once again it is a good heartwarming movie that I would definitely recommend to people & would see again.
