Irishajo, the barfing scene was at the table when BELOVED first comes back. There may have been another instance- but by then I was looking away during most of the film.

Isn't it amazing how bad something can be- and yet the principals involved don't see it like that. I understand Oprah W. suspects that the film didn't do well because of the inherent racism in our society- and that's just not true. First, you make a good film...

I don't see many movies, and most of the ones I see have been urged upon me by friends and family. This one was a BIG mistake.
