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.
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.

I am an classic love story movie watcher.
I can say the producers favorite movie was Love Jones.
I enjoyed moments in the movie but there were so many undeveloped moments that left you wondering. Also there were so many mimics to a classic love movie that can't be rewritten or duplicated in any way.
My desire is our beautiful people to be their own creative geniuses and utilize their own vivid imagination not anyone else's.

Really Love, I fell in love with this movie. Angel Kristi Williams and co-writer Felicia Pride wrote a beautiful love story. The chemistry between Kofi Siriboe and Yootha Wong-Loi-Sing is just amazing, I've got no clue how these two actors did not fall in love for real.
This is a must-watch.

I loved that is was in DC. I love that they talked about Howard. I love the friendship and the connections with family, the places, the art, the music and the church. I loved the mother and the father of both main actors! I loved the lighting, the colors, the complications, and clarifications! I loved this movie and you don't want to miss it!
