In a drama that we often live in, she talks about a woman named Tish, a new Harlem woman. Over the course of the days, she shares a 24-hour race to prove her lover's innocence while carrying her first baby. Perhaps it will be a lot of experiences and a celebration of love through the story of a young couple and their families and their challenging lives.

The formal elegance on display fills, and sometimes overwhelms, the heart.January 11, 2019
That's pure cinema. What Baldwin does with words, Mr. Jenkins does visually.December 27, 2018
James Laxton's cinematography is even more richly hued than his work on Jenkins's Moonlight, and the sound design and Nicholas Britell's score add to the movie's brimming sensory pleasures.February 21, 2019
Just as the novel version of If Beale Street Could Talk moves between love story and protest novel, a balance Baldwin strikes throughout many of his works, Jenkins' adaptation uses flashbacks to oscillate between two worlds.December 26, 2018
This movie works as a timeless romance, a family drama, a legal thriller and a poignant social commentary. A great American novel has been turned into a great American film.February 26, 2019
The score is absolutely amazing, and truthfully, I love everything about this film.February 24, 2019
If you're putting together a list of the 10 best films of the year, see If Beale Street Could Talk and you'll only need 9 more.February 27, 2019
Jenkins's work should be defining the mainstream...March 02, 2019
Jenkins performs a miracle avoiding bathos while baring raw emotion, presenting the cruelty of the world and its bitter fruit without dulling the love that makes living worthwhile.February 22, 2019
I liked it, but I thought the editing was very distracting and it was a little slow in some parts.February 06, 2019
Here is a film almost woozy with its own beauty and dignity, a film going transcendently high in the face of a racist world going low.December 26, 2018
If a powerful kick to your gut's sense of social justice is what you're looking for, you can't do any better.
