Southside with You (2016)
Before Sunrise-style date flic
7 September 2016 - 2 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
Sweet and more soulful than expected, Southside with You is a movie about a first date. So, lots and lots of conversation between two young good looking people. If you need car crashes or stereotypical "Black talk", you're gonna be disappointed. But if a nice build up of romantic chemistry is your idea of a movie, here ya go. The leads are charming together. The Michelle character is a little arch, but her caution is well founded per one awkwardly authentic scene with co-workers. A wonderful montage of Ernie Barnes artwork and a nice song by John Legend are lovely bonuses. As the late great Roger Ebert would say, thumbs up.
