I LOVED THIS FILM. The camera captures gorgeous moments through eye contact from the actors which is mesmerizing. This love story is so beautiful and painful, It breaks my heart and makes me feel so much inside. Bravo to all the fantastically beautiful actors & the phenomenal director. Definitely seeing it again.

Loved the use of natural lighting and color. Smart cinematography and excellent performances make this a must see if you are a fan of clever movements and actors that chew up the scene. A tense heart-filled story of a realistic relationship and the trails that can weigh that down and test a couple's bond. It can either break you or make you stronger. I believe this spoke to just about every person in the room in one way or another. I liked it a lot.

A beautiful love story with an upsetting ending. But sadly that ending is reality for a lot of minority families. Well shot movie. Brings out so many emotions.

amazing film, beautifully shot with an incredible score. the lead actors were so talented in the film and incredible to watch on screen. still a timely and relevant film, seeing it again for sure. a beautiful incredible work.

One of the best I have seen

Read the book many years ago. This is a beautiful rendition of a love story in the midst of an unjust society.

I fell asleep

The cinematography was beautiful. The story was told in a catching way. Some tear-jerking moments, but definitely worth the watch. I love the new faces on the screen. Their talent made them seem like veterans. I see this as another amazing film Barry Jenkins and his team will earn many awards for!

It moves slow but it had a lot of depth and it let you know what happens to our man in jail system. due process doesn't work for us

This was a beautifully intense yet soft love story set in the late 60's/ early 70's. That has racism as the antagonist that is still relevant today. it is a story of family, friendship, and blending families.

Bittersweet.And amazing visuals.

Great Acting

I am speechless to the truth and beauty of this film

It was a pretty good movie

Well written movie. Thought provoking, albeit disheartening ending. For many POC and poor individuals, this is a reality. I encourage everyone to go see it, read the book too.

This movie gave me a real sense of how far we have to go to change generational racism in the US. I think this movie should be shown in high schools and colleges. It starts a conversation that hopefully leads to change.

It was a good movie but the rest of the lead cast and supporting cast should have been and should be recognized for their outstanding performances. Regina King was excellent as always but the others were just as good. slow moving after the first 40minutes.

A beautiful love story in a time gone by, dealing with issues still relevant to people of color in America

Compelling story and good acting but the Director got carried away trying to be "artsy".

Bit slow

I saw it twice!😍🥰

If Beale Street Could Talk...it would tell stories. Stories that need to be told, and ones that should be heard. It’s a love story built into a tragic event. This movie represents the ongoing tale of many black peoples lives, and will have you in your feelings because so many have been impacted by this same story both directly or indirectly. The actors played their characters so well, that you almost believe this to be their personal story. Bring a box of tissues, as the emotion in this film is raw and cutthroat. Everything about this film was done with the utmost attention and detail, which any audience should appreciate. An underrated, must see, motion picture that should have received a lot more promotion than it did.

good love story. but could have waited for it to come on Netflix. #justsaying

Incredible moving testimony to the strength of love amid the pressures of racism on black families.

great movie

Great insight into black life through the eyes of a love story. Left you thinking.

It moved to slow

Barry Jenkins is an artist

A fantastic journey about family and fear.

Very brave topics to cover within Black community. Pacing was a little slow at times. Acting was wonderful.

Great cast and acting. However; the ending left the audience wanting more. What happened?

I would have liked a more uplifting ending!

Mirror of the times that it is in! A must see for African-Americans, as well as other races.

Surprised ending .

Great movie. Had me feeling love but also sad.

I read the book years ago, I love Baldwin’s work. My takeaway from the movie, we haven’t grown much as a country on the issue of criminal justice.

This should be playing in more theaters. It tells a real story.

A movie that everyone should see... extremely well acted by the talented cast.

What an amazing film! It really got me thinking how much minorities have suffered in the United States. Everything was phenomenal from the cast to the soundtrack.

This is a story worth your time. It is rich and thought provoking. Definitely showcases Baldwin’s work despite the limitations of cinema.

The cinematography was fantastic! The ending was interesting by the way.

Great story!

Great film.

Just an amazing film all around.

The movie was awesome! The ending was cut short, wasn't expecting the ending to be what it was.

good acting and cinematic work but lacked plot and ending

SO BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, AND SAD... OUR COUNTRIES NOBLE BEGINNINGS, TAINTED BY THE RACIST THEORIES OF THE DAY, HAUNTS AND HARMS US TO THIS MOMENT.

snooze

This movie was intense and eye opening. The actors did the movie justice.

Not sure what to say about this movie...

In the movies, love is cheap. It’s everywhere and nowhere, too often reduced to a formula or a reward. Beale Street knows better. It restores to love, romantic and familial, its sanctity—an ambition that makes it one of the most distinctive love stories in recent memory.

Slate

The movie quotes Baldwin as saying, “Every black person born in America was born on Beale Street,” but this one may as well be located inside a snow globe. In deciding how to translate Baldwin’s prose to the screen, Jenkins may as well have made Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” as a Douglas Sirk movie (or put Alice Waters’ “The Color Purple” through the Steven Spielberg filter).
