Pour l'amour de Sylvie

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!

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.

Finally, a genuine love story after all the garbage from the mid 2000's. No major political statement or bias or activism. A beautiful story of people living their LIVES falling in love... during a chaotic time. Oh wait, most eras in the 20th Century were also tumultuous. This is what most folks who survive these times do. LIVE THEIR LIVES. A long overdue window into the life of the character Sylvie in "everyday" 1950's.

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.

Not sure what others saw or even talking about for that matter but this movie was GOOD like any film there's room for improvement HOWEVER not only was I interested the whole time I like the fact that I saw familiar faces from films gone by to the current faces of Hollywood especially Black Hollywood if you will AND to see the description hold true throughout the film was the most impressive thing to me It was about Sylie's love and her love interest course in life even watching with a open mind I couldn't gather anything predictable but hey to each its own I liked this film a lot
