horizontal line

[Available Dec. 23 on Amazon Prime Video.] An engaging, well-acted, realistic, evenly paced, star-dotted (Eva Longoria, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Larenz Tate, MC Lyte, John Magaro, Ed Weeks, Aja Naomi King, Ryan Michelle Bathe, Jemima Kirk, Ron Funches, Regé-Jean Page, and Raquel Horsford), 114-minute romantic film highlighted by striking period costumes and a wonderful soundtrack in which an engaged, headstrong, wannabe television producer (Tessa Thompson), whose posh mother (Erica Gimpel) runs an etiquette school, in 1957 Harlem falls for a smitten, talented jazz saxophonist (Nnamdi Asomugha) who gets hired by her father (Lance Reddick) at his record store, and they find themselves breaking up when he left for a gig in Paris with other musicians (Tone Bell, et al.) and unexpectedly reconnect five years later despite now being married to an unsupportive husband (Alano Miller) and raising her daughter.
