Read the thoroughly thought out reviews and gauge those off others to help. For me, this wad not Moonlight, but this a haunting and very moving movie. Regina King is well deserving of her Oscar here. The film's two yoyng leads were great here too. Worth watching with a great score. Ignore short, ignorance filled reviews coming short minded and ignorant people.

If Beale Street Could Talk is a beautiful, well crafted story about the wrongfully accused and the drama that goes along with it. Everyone gives powerful performances including Regina King and it's definitely an important film for our times. There's a bit of diversity that's neat in this too and the film even seems to use some great imagery. It's a well done one for sure.

I didn't read Baldwin's work but I enjoyed this movie. It was not as painful to watch as I thought it was going to be but it still struck a cord, it resonated with me. I could feel the passion and the tension the actors portrayed as they both navigated a hate filled society that persists even today. Love triumphs but at a very high cost in this film.
