Ryan McQuade

The love story shown from Kiki Layne and Stephen James is the most romantic, realistic relationship on screen this year...

There’s an entire world created in this movie, a reflection of our reality, but soaked in Jenkins’ dreamlike view.

Noah Gittell

A beautiful love story that offers a mosaic of injustices, some of which can be overcome by love, others with no solution.

If I had the money, I’d personally finance Barry Jenkins to adapt all of James Baldwin’s novels into films. He is one of the few truly poetic film-makers in the world.

The tragedy is in how this love is forever effected by a cold, prejudicial system. Tish’s burdened father once says “These are our children, and we gotta set them free.” This becomes our longing as well.
