Yesterday the world was made a little better since ONTD faves Jennifer Lynn López and Viola Davis released their film, Lila & Eve, on selected theaters, iTunes and on-demand video. LA Times calls this amazing piece of art a "standard-issue female vigilante thriller that's skillfully elevated by the performances of leads Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez."
Lila, whose son was murdered, joins a support group where she meets Eve, whose daughter died. Lila has difficulty getting satisfaction from the police, so Eve tells her she should find the killers herself.
The film, directed by Charles Stone III has been received with critical acclaim. Jennifer López, a Golden Globe nominee, ALMA Award Winning Actress, and occasional recipient of the Razzies gives Viola a run for her coins. Unsurprisingly, Viola Davis, who has been robbed of an Academy Award twice, does a marvelous job bringing heart and soul to this masterpiece.
Here, ICON and ONTD fave JenPez is seen discussing her character, Eve.
