Pour l'amour de Sylvie

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

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.

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.

I just loved this movie. Finally a good,interesting story of a black man,black women and love. I will watch this movie over and over again. Ms. Thompson was just fantastic and of course her handsome leading man was tender and loving. Let have more of this please and you can include the civil rights movement it would just tell the truth about what was going on during this period.

This is a beautifully wrought movie with incredible cinematography and acting. It transports you to another era, allows you to forget yourself for a while, and makes you believe in true romance again. It is poignantly done bringing to light the complexity and realities of life in the sixties. I highly recommend.
