    Sylvie's love is just beautiful
    I just loved this movie. Finally a good,interesting story of a black man,black women and love. I will watch this movie over and over again. Ms. Thompson was just fantastic and of course her handsome leading man was tender and loving. Let have more of this please and you can include the civil rights movement it would just tell the truth about what was going on during this period.
