Sylvie’s love is a drama written, directed, and produced by Eugene Ashe. Tessa Thompson phenomenal actress sublime dainty character who portrayed a young woman in the 1950’s who fell in love. She deviated from an arranged betrothal later in the film.

She personified high society, especially in the duty of marriage.

Where so many women during this time married who their parents choose verses who they really loved. African American’s during this time where many of our people’s elite impeccably they led the way for so many generations. I enjoyed the movie very much. The characters from different social confines embraced love, and removed them by pursing their hearts desire instead. The sublime dainty, and the charming jazz musician from New York. Tessa born privileged passive and filled with grace fell in love with Robert played by Asomugha who was opposite the side of the tracks? The perfect girl meets boy story. Together the two were a passion force of love captured on screen. The pair embarked on an extraordinary love journey. Something that some afro film’s today lack with uncertainty.

The film revisited a generation of African American benevolence in the organizational theory of family, and how they united by hierarchy and caste systems cultivated within our own confines seeming for the benefit of our race. To watch the elevation of a woman of color in her career family and gain her independence was a profound and eloquently relatable in this film. In an era, afro cotillion, and debutante. In the end both find love in their passion for pursuing happiness. In a time when women and men of color often married and remained in relationship’s that were arranged to partners the grew to love verses love at first sight.
