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.

Really Love should be called Is This Really Love
Beautiful & Authentic
Really Love, I fell in love with this movie. Angel Kristi Williams and co-writer Felicia Pride wrote a beautiful love story. The chemistry between Kofi Siriboe and Yootha Wong-Loi-Sing is just amazing, I've got no clue how these two actors did not fall in love for real.
This is a must-watch.
Black Love
I loved that is was in DC. I love that they talked about Howard. I love the friendship and the connections with family, the places, the art, the music and the church. I loved the mother and the father of both main actors! I loved the lighting, the colors, the complications, and clarifications! I loved this movie and you don't want to miss it!
