The formal elegance on display fills, and sometimes overwhelms, the heart.

Jenkins's work should be defining the mainstream...

That's pure cinema. What Baldwin does with words, Mr. Jenkins does visually.

This movie works as a timeless romance, a family drama, a legal thriller and a poignant social commentary. A great American novel has been turned into a great American film.

Here is a film almost woozy with its own beauty and dignity, a film going transcendently high in the face of a racist world going low.

James Laxton's cinematography is even more richly hued than his work on Jenkins's Moonlight, and the sound design and Nicholas Britell's score add to the movie's brimming sensory pleasures.

Jenkins performs a miracle avoiding bathos while baring raw emotion, presenting the cruelty of the world and its bitter fruit without dulling the love that makes living worthwhile.

I liked it, but I thought the editing was very distracting and it was a little slow in some parts.

Just as the novel version of If Beale Street Could Talk moves between love story and protest novel, a balance Baldwin strikes throughout many of his works, Jenkins' adaptation uses flashbacks to oscillate between two worlds.

The score is absolutely amazing, and truthfully, I love everything about this film.
