Kianna Price Marshall

"Romance with a twist! Excellent nod to arts and culture: poetry and jazz."
 


Shamail Ross

"The film redefines Black romance with authenticity, subtlety, and depth, moving beyond stereotypes and showcases the richness of Black intellectual and artistic spaces, particularly through its poetic and jazz-infused atmosphere."

 


Bryan "Harvest Blaque" Hancock

"The movie "Love Jones" shows the  raw complexities of who we are beyond stereotypes by showcasing our highs and lows in the seasons of love and longing for it.  "Love Jones" is a great human experience story. It is divine art that  also shows the power of spoken word on Screen. The vivacious and stunning  Nia Long and Lawrenz Tate anchor an all star cast that intimately whispers to  you to take off your cool when love comes calling. We need more love stories about endurance, strength and communication just like this beautiful gem. It truly encapsulates  the power of love, relationships, and genuine friendship."
