Beyond the Lights
Not only one of the greatest cinematic achievements of 2014 but also one of the greatest onscreen romances ever, period, Gina Prince-Bythewood’s romantic drama is a all encompassing much watch. Likely to render you silent by the opening moments which plummet you into Noni’s oppressive world, the film’s love story is remarkably moving, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Nate Parker possessing instantaneous chemistry. A love story with a message about being comfortable in your own skin and reaffirming your agency, the film bleeds romance.
