- Review: "Celie is played by Whoopi Goldberg in one of the most amazing debut performances in movie history. The relationship between Shug and Celie is a good deal toned down from the book, which deals in great detail with sexual matters." Roger Ebert; December 20, 1985
- Review: "When I first saw the movie, I focused on Celie with such care and concern that the whole movie became her story. This time, I was uneasily aware that the movie is singleminded in its conviction that African-American women are strong, brave, true and will endure, but African-American men are weak, cruel or comic caricatures." Roger Ebert; March 28, 2004
- The Color Purple Controversy in 1985, Explained: "One poignant aspect of The Color Purple novel is the relationship between Celie and a woman named Shug. The relationship between the two women is present in the 1985 film, though it’s heavily watered down from the source material." Leila Holley; December 26, 2023
