They're nothing more to say but this: This is a beautiful movie. Great acting, great plot, and it'll forever remain on my "best movies list." In the end, may we find our way to that one person who brings us home.

I just have this to say: everyone needs to see this movie. The sad reality depicted in this motion picture is heartbreaking. Truly, if Beale street could talk, I shudder at the thought of how many more heart-wrenching stories it'd have to tell about man's inhumanity to man.

Beautiful! That's just the word. Beautiful!

The contrast between morality and legality is so well handled in this beautiful movie. The directing, acting, and plot is really beautiful in a sad way. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen till the very end. If you love good movies that pose intelligent questions about acceptance, growth, consequences, and right and wrong, all handled with beautiful cinematography, this is it! SPOILER! It's really interesting how the simple act of the priest banishing alcohol and gambling led to a cascade of events that destroyed the town. The gangs wouldn't have found the town if a citizen didn't leave to steal from the gang in the first place. This could partly be blamed on dwindling resources following the business ban. An intended good by the priest to make the town better turned sour.
