There may be more and more unresolved struggles and struggles with a woman named Tish, a Harlem woman who tries to come up with many challenges to prove her lover's innocence but it seems difficult because she is carrying her first baby from her lover. It is the story of a true struggle for love through the story of a young couple and their families and their seemingly challenging lives.
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.
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.
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.
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.
