Eve Batiste (Jurnee Smollett) is the youngest daughter of one of Louisiana's most sophisticated and prosperous families. Her father, Louis (Samuel L. Jackson), is the town's highly respected doctor, a man known for his ability to "fix" things – everything except his own family problems and philandering lifestyle. Her mother Roz (Lynn Whitfield) is a southern woman with an affinity for the traditions of Creole heritage. But Eve is most like her Aunt Mozelle (Debbi Morgan) – impulsive, intuitive, a touch supernatural and possessing the need to know the truth about everything. Over one explosive summer, this young girl uncovers some of her family's most frightening hidden truths, and then tries to bind them together against the tide of tragedy. The film received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert naming it the best film of 1997. CNN's Paul Tatara, Empire, Entertainment Weekly, The LESS
