She Taught Love

This was such a beautiful story about Black love. There was such a huge influx of gorgeous stories of different varieties about Black folks falling in love in the 90s, and I feel like this film is helping to open that door up again but an even more contemporary context.

I loved everything about it, and I really appreciated how realistic it felt. The creativity in the cinematography was also so exceptional! Every shot was gorgeous, the acting was raw and real, and the music. Just wow to it all. I will be constantly revisiting and rewatching this for a while.

If you're even thinking about checking it out, you absolutely should give it a watch!

Absolutely loved She Taught Love! This film is a beautiful blend of heartfelt storytelling and stunning performances. The cast brings incredible depth to their characters, making every moment feel real and impactful. The cinematography is gorgeous, capturing the essence of African landscapes and culture. It's inspiring to see such amazing young talent on screen, and this film does a fantastic job of highlighting the creativity and skill of African actors. This isn't just a movie; it's an emotional journey that stays with you. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a meaningful and powerful story!

This film is so beautiful and intentional. I love the transitions that indicate how much time has passed or how each character has grown. Nothing about this film was predictable. It made me laugh, cry, mad. I felt like the characters were messy af in a good way. Relatable. A beautiful love story honestly. We need more of this from the director and writer especially featuring Black characters? A loving family and friends? I loved everything about this film. Really made my heart burst at the love developed in such a short amount of time. 10s. No notes! Amazing acting!!! Put each of the leads into more of everything. Their chemistry was amazing.

What a beautiful and timeless film!! I loved the story line, the casting, the cinematography, truly a showcase of some of the best talent! The soundtrack was also impeccable! Highly recommend again and again!! The lead actress Arsema Thomas was extremely captivating, she dazzled throughout the entire film. A 100/10 performance from all of them and an important perspective on family, community, compassion, and the overcoming and healing power of love, especially black love. It is truly a classic! The cinematography captures you throughout the whole film, really drawing you into the storyline and the characters. Watch it!

I need more movies like this being put out. I'm not sure why so low in terms of ratings, but I think I know why! More people (who can relate) need to start supporting movies like this, and stop looking at it from rose colored glasses. If you can't relate, just say it, don't put in a bad, or low rating. POC movies never get the recognition they deserve as is (as you can tell by who win's the awards), and all in saying is take yourself, your life, your experiences out of it and learn something! The world is bigger than the 4 corners you've grown up in. Go out, experience life, and maybe then you'll be able to appreciate different types of movies!
