She Taught Love

Absolutely loved She Taught Love! This film is a beautiful blend of heartfelt storytelling and stunning performances. The cast brings incredible depth to their characters, making every moment feel real and impactful. The cinematography is gorgeous, capturing the essence of African landscapes and culture. It's inspiring to see such amazing young talent on screen, and this film does a fantastic job of highlighting the creativity and skill of African actors. This isn't just a movie; it's an emotional journey that stays with you. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a meaningful and powerful story!

There's much to be said about the film. The first takeaway was the storyline, which left me with the natural emotion of humanness as opposed to a treatise on power relations or other debates of a philophical nature. After all, the reality of an impending death can strip us from our learned intellectual tendencies and force us to face our true essence and what is really important. The story also delivers a sense of true love between two adults and their capacity to fight back together the adversities that they face. The lush cinematography, the play of lights and interiors add to the beauty, the intensity, and the weight of the life that they share. The music is well curated for each phase of the film. Arsema is undoubtedly the leading character who calls the shots. She has the ability to effortlessly navigate and express the plethora of emotions and attitudes that her role requires. She elevates love . I enjoyed watching how the hospital corridor and the nurse desk were transformed into a galactic dance performance. Mali is a science buff in addition to being a sports lawyer, yet she can also fall in love.

Don't usually review movies but the low rating prompted this review.

First things first. This movie does not try to be what it's not. The acting is not the greatest but it's not bad also.

What caught my attention is how seamless & "clean" this movie was. It avoided the usual stereotypes and focused on the story & how it unfolds which I found to be a breath of fresh air.

I consider myself very open minded as I tend to like unconventional movies and this is up there with the rest of them.

Words cannot describe my pleasant experience enough - just see the movie. It clearly isn't a big budget movie but the cinematography and score are amazing.

She Taught Love is a beautiful and deeply moving film. It captures the power of love to heal and transform, with the lead actress delivering an incredibly raw and heartfelt performance that brings the story to life. The cinematography and soundtrack create the perfect atmosphere, allowing each moment to land with real emotion and depth. Every scene feels genuine, with the film's slower pacing giving time for the characters' journeys to unfold in a powerful and meaningful way.

The story goes beyond romance, addressing the layers of personal and generational trauma in a way that feels authentic and relatable. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, making their connection feel natural and earned. The authenticity of the dialogue and the nuanced performances make this a powerful watch, leaving viewers with a sense of hope and a reminder of the importance of self-love, healing, and finding strength in vulnerability.

Was so excited to watch this after hearing the reviews... safe to say I will never trust yall again. This love was messy, he cheated on her, disrespected her, and lied and she just looked past it. Also the main female character was quite selfish if you ask me. Very unsympathetic about the feelings of people around her and acted as if because she was the sick one her loved ones couldn't be sad because she's the victim... But she is a boss and I love that but I think she deserved so much more. It seems as if she was desperate to hurry and find love so she just took it and ran with it because she thought her time was running short. Bring back true romance. That slow healthy organic love, not lust.
