If Beale Street Could Talk
Based on James Baldwin’s penultimate novel, If Beale Street Could Talk follows the friendship and romance of Fonny and Tish, whose lives are upended when Fonny is arrested and convicted for a crime he did not commit. Barry Jenkins’s follow-up to Moonlight is both a love story and a moving portrait of two black families in civil rights–era Harlem. (2018, dir. Barry Jenkins, 119 min.)
