When Valerie Maas and her husband Dutch, decide to relocate their family to Philadelphia for his career, everything seems perfect. While Valerie must leave her job in Atlanta as a commercial photographer, she is able to work as a portraitist for her friend Zahara Milton and the family quickly settles into life in their newly adopted city and the upper echelon of Philadelphia's African-American community. "Cover" is a good movie done tastefully with a great message. This movie will leave you fulfilled and thinking as well.

I was blown AWAY!!!! This movie was the best movie I have seen in a very, VERY, long time. COVER is a must see/must own movie.
I can't imagine a person not liking this movie - but if you love it or hate it you will definitely talk about it.

GReat story line with a interesting twist. Some of the acting was "just okay" but overall a good movie.

Amazing movie. Best approached with low, or better yet, no, expectations.
I saw it not knowing what it was about and not expecting much (cheesy 80s intro inkblot helped that...)
The sexual tension and mystery drew me in and I was hooked from there.
It really blew my mind and got me to thinking about a lot of important things.
This is an issues film, it treats a very modern and real epidemic.
It's not meant to be, nor does it ever feel like, an escapist piece of entertainment.
Not surprisingly, many critics bash the film.
But, that's easy to understand in proper context: America is only ~13% african-american and this movie is heavily entrenched in african-american culture.
Most movie critis would not be able to realate to the characters or context very well, many critics I've read felt lots of the moments felt fake or contrived.
I'll say that most characters expose many views, and they are totally realistic and human.
And in a way, that's why it's understandable the critics smashed this one - its not your standard movie script, its much more real, an qute a bit less predictable.
No movie is perfect, and this one does have a few very short weak points, like Vivica's rather fake/corny-souding "chill it out, I'm still down for hookin my sista up", but there are many many very powerful and strong points as well, notably when the preacher visits Mrs Maas or when Grandpa Maas bails out his son.
This movie is one the most well done I have ever seen in terms of the director being able to get you to think about underlying issues. Even though the characters and plot are pretty down-to-earth, I think the psycological/sociological/moral issues at play are on such a high level that many viewers won't get it fully. I don't know the director, but I can tell he is a very intellegent, well-rounded, insightful artist and did an incredible job of conveying his intended meaning.
