IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

January 26 – February 7
IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK
Based on the novel by James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk is the story of Tish, a newly engaged Harlem woman who races against the clock to prove her lover’s innocence while carrying their first-born child to term. It is a celebration of love told through the story of a young couple, their families and their lives, trying to bring about justice through love, for love and the promise of the American dream.
Dir: Barry Jenkins / 2018 / US / 120 min

“Barry Jenkins creates one of the year’s 10 best films by celebrating black love and a human connection that can raise you up and move you to tears. Regina King’s performance should finally get her the Oscar she’s deserved for years.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“You’ve never seen romantic love depicted on screen with such lyrical and gorgeous intensity, or systemic injustice brought to such vivid and enraging life. Film classes will be taught about Jenkins’ use of color.” – Glen Weldon, NPR

“When two lovers look at each other in this movie, the tenderness in their eyes softens everything, creating a radiance that folds around them like a blanket, blunting the world. You feel the warmth, the softness, too.” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times
