Welcome to If Beale Street Could Talk the devastating but utterly sumptuous follow-up from director Barry Jenkins after his 2015 Oscar triumph, Moonlight. Tish has just learned she’s pregnant with their child. He’s been accused of violently raping a woman and it’s up to Tish to race against time to support him, defend him, exonerate him, and see that he’s set free. We are Tish in that moment, and we are ready.įonny is behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit. The strings sing in the score by Nicholas Britell and our own hearts are captured.
Their touches, their expressions are pure. The camera follows a young couple, Tish (KiKi Layne) and Fonny (Stephan James) as they walk through a park. ― James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk
“I hope that nobody has ever had to look at anybody they love through glass.”
