A film that wafts around the room like a cigarette or Miles Davis' trumpet on Blue in Green, "If Beale Street Could Talk" is a moving, rich tapestry of modern African American life. Beautifully shot, amazing performances, important messages. Some of the messages are nonetheless a bit cliche and somewhat muddled toward the end, but it's a great, great film that is spellbinding for easily half of its time. Wow.

Poignant. Slow, powerful, moving drama. Detailed life showing multiple forms of innocence, injustice, family and religion
Delicately acted, the pacing, plot and narrative could have benefited by sequencing the story better. I felt they were going for Manchester by the Sea. Perhaps it's too close to the book, maybe that had chapter titles. I felt it lost focus at times ~7/10 the final Oscar nominee for Best Picture 3 years 7 months ago -
