If Beale Street Could Talk - 'To bore a mocking bird'
Emotional racial drama.
Set in Harlem in the 1970's, this is a film about a young couple very much in love, just like 'To Kill a Mocking Bird' the protagonist is wrongly convicted of rape, we see strong support from her family to prove his innocence. She becomes pregnant, he goes to prison.
I thought the plot was overly long, very slow, especially the character building scenes, the story could have told in 20 minutes. I wanted this movie to be better than it was, especially as I was keen to see it.
At the risk of being considered racist I found this disappointing.
4/10
