Movie Review: A Beautiful Soul.


The faith-based drama A Beautiful Soul comes across as rather an odd and contrived performance, in my opinion of the lead actor -Deitrick Haddon’s sophomore project.
Although this flick isn't as enthralling as the DH's debut project “Blessed & Cursed”: yet it manages to convey pivotal life lessons to the audience.

This oneiric drama attempts to drive home irreplaceable truths surrounding the ominous implications of under-estimating the power of fame!
A Beautiful Soul chronicles the life of R&B superstar ANDRE STEPHENS (Deitrick Haddon) whose humble rise strikes the right chord with success, fame and fortune but grew oblivious of his spiritual life direction cruising a million miles away unto wanton disrepute. This disenchantment and insensitivity would later come to haunt him and his best friend CHRIS JOHNSON (Robert Ri’chard) after their motorcade got attacked.
Locked helplessly in a state of coma, Andre must inevitably take a lecture in the school of Divine Encounter. This self-centred headliner was given the opportunity to re-evaluate his fate, fame, and his faith. This is one stringent combination that needs be looked at from Heaven’s perspective more closely, although most humans will always view it differently.

Fame, being Pride’s most lethal weapon of choice is known to warp its way surreptitiously into the cranial control-room of its victims. It then feeds on the larger-than-life fantasies (both our inexperience & experiences alike) like a blood-sucking leech with only one clear mission: To disable its victim's sensibilities from functioning optimally! 

A Beautiful Soul features a host of familiar faces both within the faith community and the mainstream alike; the likes of Deitrick Haddon himself, Lesley-Ann Brandt, veteran Harry Lennix, Barry Floyd, Trevor Jackson, Robert Ri’chard, and amongst others was a cameo from Bishop Noel Jones.
