Rasism, discrimination etc. We've seen it many times.
Possibly the best movie I've seen. This kind of excellence in filmmaking makes me even more impatient with the sub par work of some of our current filmmakers.
First 20 minutes, and I thought this film was going to stand out as the best film I'd seen in ages. It gets a little uncomfortable to say the least.
This is the first time I write a review and this is only because this movie has brought me to the edge of the most profound state of irritation. "Style over substance" is the last thing to mention when it comes to describing this so-called Drama which is actually just another political-statement, mixed with extreme close-ups which nowadays are called art.
The movie has high reviews, that's usually why one would pick this up and spend 2 hours watching it right? Well, I'm disappointed, and I'm not alone.
I wanted to like this film, it is visually impressive with a period feel. Performances are good, not brilliant, but it didn't really go anywhere, and where it did go was at a snail's pace.
Great acting, indeed. But the movie is nothing you havent seen before.
The beginning of the movie is one of the best I have ever seen. The mood is set and the feeling is palpable.
Beale Street is simply one of the most gorgeous films I've ever seen. It's unbearably romantic, not just in Baldwin's flawless story (which certainly deserves the description) but the way Jenkins shoots & edits.
