What critics are saying about If Beale Street Could Talk

There’s no director better equipped than Jenkins to match Baldwin’s precise mix of polemic and passion. Moonlight , Jenkins’s last movie, was a meditation on love and heartbreak that simmered with rage and regret; it immediately announced the filmmaker as a major talent ( and won a surprise Best Picture Oscar to boot ). If Beale Street Could Talk , the first fiction-movie adaptation of a Baldwin novel, would have been an ambitious task for any director. But Jenkins knows to focus on the profound link between the two young lovers, building the rest of the story out from there.
