Sylvie's Love (2020)
7/10
All That Jazz
13 January 2021
There's nothing fancy about this movie. There's nothing intense or complicated and that is the majesty of Sylvie's Love. It's a visually stunning and simple story told in the most cinematically beautiful of fashions.

The costumes, art direction, and cinematography transport you into a different world and a different time. The film has the ability for you to feel nostalgia from a decade you may have never even lived in.

Tessa Thompson is absolutely breathtaking, playing an amazing character that we can all root for and enjoy as we watch her grow and mature from a starry eyed youth to a cynical yet sassy strong woman, but is always magnetic.

Nnamdi Aspmugha is charming playing a character in a quiet confidence that is a true romantic lead who is both humbling and sexy while being grounded enough to understand.

The actual love story is imperfect, not in quality but in the challenges the two main characters face staying together by proceeding through internal and external setbacks showing a resilient love at the very end made of pure magic.

The story accurately portrays every interesting facet of love. It's imperfect and messy but it's worth the pain. Through this depiction the movie has the quality of a classic, and achieves such deserved description.

This movie is now streaming on Amazon prime.
