George C. Wolfe directs this captivating, well-acted, factually inspired, star-studded (Rosie Perez, Liev Schreiber, Patricia Wettig, Jeffrey Wright, Delroy Lindo, Henry Simmons, Mos Def, Ernie Hudson, Julie Benz, and Louis Gossett, Jr.), 2005 HBO film based on Ruben Santiago-Hudson's Obie-award-winning play in which African-American Rachel "Nanny" Crosby (S. Epatha Merkerson), who was married to an adulterous alcoholic (Terrence Dashon Howard), cared for a motley group of residents (Macy Gray, et al.) at her New York boardinghouse during the mid-1950s and 1960s and raised a grateful, young boy (Marcus Carl Franklin) after his mother (Carmen Ejogo) and father (Jimmy Smits) ended up neglecting him.
