Sylvie's Love

Finally, a genuine love story after all the garbage from the mid 2000's. No major political statement or bias or activism. A beautiful story of people living their LIVES falling in love... during a chaotic time. Oh wait, most eras in the 20th Century were also tumultuous. This is what most folks who survive these times do. LIVE THEIR LIVES. A long overdue window into the life of the character Sylvie in "everyday" 1950's.

An honest movie, for a lovely and peaceful evening dedicated to love. I confess to having watched this film lured by the musical aspect and 1950s settings. I am a record collector and I warn jazz lovers that the part about the record store and concerts is not predominant. No matter, here we are talking about a love story with ups and downs, where in the end... well, it's easy to imagine how it ends, but I won't be the one to spoil it. I don't think I would have watched this movie without the lure of its setting, but in the end I did and so, here I am reviewing it. I would say it's decent, nothing too demanding.

Sylvie's Love is a sweet love story. It exists in a lovely, technicolor world better than our own, but set in our past. Tessa Thompson and Nnamdi Asomugha set the screen on fire. The soundtrack roars with some of the best music on earth. It understands it's era and genre. It feels properly old-fashioned. If you thought this film was too basic and cliched, you missed the point entirely.

Not sure what others saw or even talking about for that matter but this movie was GOOD like any film there's room for improvement HOWEVER not only was I interested the whole time I like the fact that I saw familiar faces from films gone by to the current faces of Hollywood especially Black Hollywood if you will AND to see the description hold true throughout the film was the most impressive thing to me It was about Sylie's love and her love interest course in life even watching with a open mind I couldn't gather anything predictable but hey to each its own I liked this film a lot

Sweet love story with twist that in real life you would not want. I love both the main characters demeanors refresh and calm.
