Told largely from the point of view of the woman, this career-versus-love story still develops the perspective of the man persuasively, as Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps reveal their characters' motives with nuances of expression that transcend the dialogue.
The pic is so well directed and lead performance by Sanaa Lathan so charismatic that audiences will overlook the script's flaws and root for the central duo.
Stylishly shot and bursting with visual and sexual energy, this is confident black women's film-making and an eloquent tribute to the girl with the permanently grazed knees -- and about time too.
Satisfying, enjoyable and smart.
Mawkishly heartfelt, but actress Sanaa Lathan performs as if she were lit from within.
An unusual but engaging mix of the overwrought and the understated, a picture that, at two hours plus, keeps threatening to overstay its welcome and yet always pulls us back into its conversational orbit.
I was nervous to rewatch Love & Basketball as an adult but thankfully, it's as smart, funny, and beautifully shot as I remembered it from my early adolescence.
It's cool, feminist, and fudges nothing.
Good romance, but strong sexuality for a PG-13.
This romantic drama from writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood is well-acted.
The surprise element here is that the film takes Monica's career, and her love of the game, as seriously, probably more seriously, than it does Quincy's.
Thanks to Spike Lee's production company for giving a talented newcomer a good start.
This is one of my favorite movies! Sanaa Lathan & Omar Epps are excellent actors! This is a movie I could watch again & again. Beautiful story of two people who were meant to be together. So sweet & touching. :-)
