I really wanted to like this film! The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous, as are the characters! The wardrobe is to die for and they get everything right about the DC ambiance. Where it goes wrong is the actual storytelling itself. That seems to be a thing with many of the shows marketed to Black audiences on Netflix, unfortunately. The female lead isn't really developed at all in terms of us getting to know her character other than she's in school to be a lawyer. We knew predictably exactly where things were going to go with the boyfriend. I don't even need to share spoilers! It would have been nice to have a story that was unexpected and still uplifting. There were a number of ways that could have been done given this phenomenal lead and supporting cast. Maybe next time.
I was enjoying the movie. But then it just
ended. No resolution. I kinda felt robbed. Maybe we could get a part 2.
Really love
A beautiful cast and beautiful cinematography. Love the racial exposure the movie packs too. The soundtrack was also gorgeous, the wardrobe was splendid.
The leads had amazing chemistry, if only they gave them dialogues that helped translate their love to viewers and the storytelling was done better.

The films passion keeps you watching. An honest love story with realistic ups and downs. When it ended I was sad the story was over.
If you're also a millennial, and you liked Normal People or The Photograph, this film is for you. For the generation that got to see Love Jones in theaters, I think you guys will like it too.
I'm white for reference. I love seeing films where black people get to be fully developed characters. We all need to see more of that. Hopefully 2022 will bring a lot films like that. Not just one or two.
Once you start this movie you become addicted to it, and you want to tell all your friends to watch it.

The acting was natural and very good. I love the the fact that the movie goes on for just over 1.5 hours, but captures the essence without dragging on. Easy to watch and not too dramatic to the point of it being unrealistic or a typical Hollywood style BS. Overall a good movie to watch.
