much too slow for my liking.

I don't understand the hype about this movie. I was really looking forward to seeing it but was disappointed. It was so slow and melodramatic. "The Green Book" was so much better in depicting the struggle and racist issues that black Americans dealt with every day.

This was an ok movie and nicely done period piece. I don't quite understand all the hype about it being so great, because on a scale it is just down the middle of the pack for me and my husband. I'm a big Regina King fan and think she is way underrated as an actress, but I really didn't see anything worthy of a nomination for anything in this film. Maybe the main female lead, but that is being generous. I really wanted to love this movie, but just can't summon up anything more but it was ok to pass a couple hours. I felt like it could have been so much more and the ending was lackluster and left the audience hanging.

Excellent movie—beautiful love story (love on many levels); outstanding actors; and the director did superbly at bringing James Baldwin’s book to life. Highly recommend that everyone see this movie. 🔥

TOO TOO SLOW .... acting was good, but got too tired watching the movie

Another excellent film that few people will see. This is a film about love, but not just a story of young love, although certainly that. We see parents' love of infant children, and older parents' love of adult children, and sisters loving sisters. The over-riding theme is the horrendous struggle of black people 50 years ago---worse than now, BUT not enough worse. The movie is riveting.....Guru Bob....90/100

Excellent movie and would really like to see a sequel. The movie showed true areas of poverty and discrimination on the way people are living and still being treated unfairly today

Ponderous, shared brutality of poverty and discrimination, and left me feeling even more guilty.

Great story, great acting but sad reality like other reviewers have mentioned that nothing much has changed. Two thumbs up.
