I attended the film premiere in Hollywood and must say it exceeded my expectations.
I believe many people are looking for a reenactment of Love and Basketball with this offering and are in for a well-deserved awakening if this is their limited way of thinking. Love and Basketball is available for viewing and purchase worldwide and should not be brought to life again or camouflaged as a new film title.
Beyond the Lights caters to the core demographic whose interest is piqued by lifestyle and celebrity persona. I think its commendable the producer Gina was removed from industry for 14+ years yet still has a command for providing films that cater to her core demographic audience which evolved and transitioned tremendously since her last film contribution.
The chemistry between the main actors is explosive and effortlessly portrayed. While the storyline and progression is believable and engaging considering the subject matter and my own experiences working in the field of music.
There was a scene I found cheesy but looked around and noticed others crying and applauding at the exact same moment. So, the film arouses many emotions and only great writing and acting usually evoke this type of crowd interaction.
The overwhelming theme is one about love and the sacrifices individuals make if they are earnest and honest in pursuit of it. It secondarily touches on themes that deserve attention in a larger context such as suicide, the pressure of fame, and more.
I would highly recommend this film to young adults and mature audiences alike as it lastly touches on themes regarding generational differences and divides.
