Review of Livin' for Love: The Natalie Cole Story

Love this small screen biopic of singer\actress Natalie Cole. Considering this was a television film, the production values are very good. All of the leads, Natalie Cole, Diahann Carroll and Theresa Randall do an excellent job here. Carroll embodies the "coldness" of Maria Cole. Randall made me forget I was watching an actress. And of course Natalie kills it as herself (lol). Robert Townsend does the directing duties here. And the use of Natalie's real music helps the authenticity of the film, not to mention she's telling her own story as well. Overall, just a good movie.
