While Barry Jenkins’ emotional and evocative James Baldwin adaptation “If Beale Street Could Talk” is primarily focused on the relationship between its fated lovers Tish and Fonny, the Oscar winner also folds in a number of essential supporting performances. One, of course, belongs to this year’s Best Supporting Actress winner Regina King, but the film also features remarkable turns from Teyonah Parris and Brian Tyree Henry. But look closer still, and “Beale Street” comes alive with smaller parts for actors like Dave Franco and Diego Luna.
“Beale Street” stars newcomer Kiki Layne as Clementine “Tish” Rivers, a young woman who fights to exonerate her imprisoned boyfriend after he is wrongfully accused of rape. The pressure to get Alonzo “Fonny” Hunt (Stephan James) out of jail becomes heightened after Tish discovers she is pregnant. IndieWire’s Eric Kohn hailed “Beale Street” as a “masterful poetic romance” in his A- review out of Tiff.
