    Beautiful, Moving, andUnforgettable - She Taught Love

    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!

    Not a true romance

    Was so excited to watch this after hearing the reviews... safe to say I will never trust yall again. This love was messy, he cheated on her, disrespected her, and lied and she just looked past it. Also the main female character was quite selfish if you ask me. Very unsympathetic about the feelings of people around her and acted as if because she was the sick one her loved ones couldn't be sad because she's the victim... But she is a boss and I love that but I think she deserved so much more. It seems as if she was desperate to hurry and find love so she just took it and ran with it because she thought her time was running short. Bring back true romance. That slow healthy organic love, not lust.

    Beautifully Made

    Don't usually review movies but the low rating prompted this review.

    First things first. This movie does not try to be what it's not. The acting is not the greatest but it's not bad also.

    What caught my attention is how seamless & "clean" this movie was. It avoided the usual stereotypes and focused on the story & how it unfolds which I found to be a breath of fresh air.

    I consider myself very open minded as I tend to like unconventional movies and this is up there with the rest of them.

    Words cannot describe my pleasant experience enough - just see the movie. It clearly isn't a big budget movie but the cinematography and score are amazing.

    A Powerful Journey of Healing

    She Taught Love is a beautiful and deeply moving film. It captures the power of love to heal and transform, with the lead actress delivering an incredibly raw and heartfelt performance that brings the story to life. The cinematography and soundtrack create the perfect atmosphere, allowing each moment to land with real emotion and depth. Every scene feels genuine, with the film's slower pacing giving time for the characters' journeys to unfold in a powerful and meaningful way.

    The story goes beyond romance, addressing the layers of personal and generational trauma in a way that feels authentic and relatable. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, making their connection feel natural and earned. The authenticity of the dialogue and the nuanced performances make this a powerful watch, leaving viewers with a sense of hope and a reminder of the importance of self-love, healing, and finding strength in vulnerability.

    A Moving Story About Black 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!
