It’s a film that both looks and feels the part, a handsomely made love story that’s easy to fall in love with.

Combining beautiful aesthetics with winning performances from Thompson and Asomugha, Sylvie’s Love is the rare Black period drama that tells a sweet and satisfying love story without revolving around the racial adversity of the era.

The period costuming is also a dream, with Thompson as striking as any Golden Age heroine in a teal Chanel gown and white elbow-length gloves.

...soak in the plush composition of Sylvie's setting and watch a serenely lovely Thompson...

The chemistry between Thompson and Asomugha is undeniably gorgeously and results in refined onscreen performances which are both engaging and heart-warming.

Thompson and football pro-turned-actor Asomugha bring a pleasing wholesomeness to their characters and carry the film with sincere performances.
