This movie highlights living and loving on borrowed time. I appreciate the different themes of family also. Wish we could have seen the males family on screen but it still provided a great dynamic. Definitely captures a feel good love story that isn't short of realism. How refreshing it is to see a story about a man's admiration for a women who would change his whole life. To then see that very women be inspired by that man to tap into her own desires. Every romance movie can give you intimate scenes throughout, but what about ones that highlight hard truths. Overall the storyline was familiar but proved its individuality by encouraging optimism through loving in the present. Also who doesn't love a good Beyoncé reference ! :)
What a beautiful and timeless film!! I loved the story line, the casting, the cinematography, truly a showcase of some of the best talent! The soundtrack was also impeccable! Highly recommend again and again!! The lead actress Arsema Thomas was extremely captivating, she dazzled throughout the entire film. A 100/10 performance from all of them and an important perspective on family, community, compassion, and the overcoming and healing power of love, especially black love. It is truly a classic! The cinematography captures you throughout the whole film, really drawing you into the storyline and the characters. Watch it!

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!
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.

This film is so beautiful and intentional. I love the transitions that indicate how much time has passed or how each character has grown. Nothing about this film was predictable. It made me laugh, cry, mad. I felt like the characters were messy af in a good way. Relatable. A beautiful love story honestly. We need more of this from the director and writer especially featuring Black characters? A loving family and friends? I loved everything about this film. Really made my heart burst at the love developed in such a short amount of time. 10s. No notes! Amazing acting!!! Put each of the leads into more of everything. Their chemistry was amazing.
