12 Real Life “Waiting to Exhale” Moments

Before there was Sex in the City and Girlfriends four women: Savannah, Bernadine, Gloria and Robin were Waiting to Exhale. Bad relationships, bad sex and good friends carrying inevitable luggage thrown at them in life. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Terry McMillan, the film directed by Forest Whitaker debuted on December 22, 1995 grossing just over $81 million around the world.

A perfect mix of class and sass with great on-screen chemistry, the cast Whitney Houston, Lela Rochon, Loretta Devine and Angela Bassett, have by far gone down in history with one of the must-see Black films.
