    Sylvie's love is just beautiful

    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.

    Jazzy Love Story

    As a fan of period pieces and jazz, this film was the perfect blending and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The lovely Tessa Thompson played the lead role well. Why her co-star reminded me of NBA star Russell Westbrook was kinda crazy, but he did a great job opposite Tessa. Women love deeply and Sylvie loved this man through time and space. It is a film that keeps you rooting for love...for that happily ever after!

    Sweet love story

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

    An honest movie

    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.

      At the record shop, if you look closely, LPs have OJC catalog numbers. these were reissued LPs released by Original Jazz Classics in the 80s till presently. this movie was set in 1962. original LPs released in the 60s did not bear any of these OJC catalog numbers.
