AgeOfAquarius Review of Really Love

Really Love (2020)

Really Love should be called Is This Really Love

[6/10 · 7 September 2021]

I wanted to "Really Love" so many things about this film. The cast was perfectly picked. The cinematography is outstanding. It's extremely wonderful to see young Black people in such a positive light. Unfortunately the script isn't strong enough with all of the good previously stated. Honestly the story never really developed the love between the two leads. It's not so much because the relationship was rushed as in because there was no real dialogue between the leads. So as the "relationship" progresses and then falls apart you're left wondering not "Really Love" but more like "Is This Really Love?" Also way too many similarities to Love Jones. Unfortunately this film lacks the substance and storytelling that made Love Jones that film we will love always.
