Sylvie's Love

A beautiful tale of life and love told like favorite classics.

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.

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.

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