If Beale Street Could Talk

In matching the newcomer Layne with James, best known for playing Jesse Owens in Race, he has found a pairing whose chemistry charms and bewitches – with every scene we feel more engaged and then enraged when they’re pulled further apart.

...når kameraet svæver fra scene til scene, bundet sammen af Nicholas Britells Oscar-nominerede, jazzede score, er det svært ikke at overgive sig til det fornemme filmhåndværk.

Filmen rymmer å ena sidan romantik med passionerad värme, å andra sidan socialrealism med kalla fakta.

En sensuell och urtjusigt melankolisk film med sann själ, som lyckas kännas retro, aktuell och tidlös på en och samma gång.

...the most sweepingly romantic polemic you’ll ever see, a love story that will make you want to take up arms against a cruel world.

...Fonny and Tish's love is real and enduring -- and a beautiful thing to behold.
