Barry Jenkins adaption of
James Baldwin's 1974 book,
If Beale Street Could Talk, is a heartwarming and beautifully filmed love story, but equally an infuriating tale of racism and social injustice for black people in
America. Set in 1970s
New York City, KiKi Layne stars as
'Clementine "Tish" Rivers' whose artist boyfriend
'Alozo "Fonny" Hunt' is falsely accused and incarcerated for raping a woman. The pregnant
Tish turns to her parents for support,
'Sharon' and
'Jospeh Rivers' (played by
Oscar-winning
Supporting Actress Regina King and
Colman Domingo).
Sharon tracks down and flies to
Puerto Rico to try and convince the victim of
Fonny's innocence, whilst
Joseph hustles the streets of
Harlem to provide money for his legal fees.
