If Beale Street Could Talk it would say this film is like a vintage recliner, it looks good and it feels good but it just sits there and doesn't go anywhere.

A touching love story. Beautifully shot and an amazing score. Some great performances, especially Brian Tyree Henry (which he is having just a fantastic year).

Moonlight’s basically my favourite film so I was really looking forward to watching Barry’s second feature and I’m sad it didn’t struck me as intensely as Moonlight did. I think much of it is due to the screenwriting which Barry contributed to but didn’t do by himself in Moonlight, unlike in this film which he wrote all on his own and for me, it was underwhelming. The pace was a bit off and dragged in some parts, but the story was still relevant. Now, what is undeniably Barry’s strong point is the beautiful way he shoots his films, and what i feel will become his signature slow motion close ups. The love story was beautiful, sure, but i feel like the issue the film deals with deserved something more dramatic. But still, I quite liked it. 8/10

Boring, boring and boring. I am sorry but leaving aside the technical movie aspects, I found the story pretty weak and way too long.

[9.4/10] Nobody blends love and tragedy like Barry Jenkins. *If Beale Street Could Talk* is, like *Moonlight* before it, a profound story of two people who very much belong together, but who broken systems rip apart. It is both heartening and heart-breaking, a movie that will make you want to celebr More

This is a beautifully filmed experience; thereafter a sort of emotional torpor sets in and it struggles to make headway in self-made heavy seas. The story, upon which it is based, offers us yards of controversial and harrowing material to work from, and ample scope to develop the characterisations, More
