Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am

Directed by Timothy Greenfield Saunders, 119 mins., PG 13

This artful and intimate meditation on the legendary and recently deceased storyteller examines her life, her works and the powerful themes she has confronted throughout her literary career. Toni Morrison leads an assembly of her peers, critics and colleagues on an exploration of race, history, America and the human condition.“Reminds us how long she had to wait for the recognition she so richly deserved, and what a distinctive, generous, funny, astute, self-doubting, unstoppable and formidable figure she was along the way.” —Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
