Sylvie's Love cinematography is mesmerizing, I could see it as a fantastic coffee table book, as a movie not so much. Sylvie is a Black woman with big dreams of working in the television industry. Great! I can get into that. Robert is a musician with big dreams of working in the music industry. Great! I can also get into that. What Sylvie's Love gives the audience as a love story just doesn't work well. Where was the conflict that kept these two apart? Nothing even remotely remarkable. Sylvie's fiancé Lacy is away serving the country. She spends a lot of time with Robert, becomes pregnant by Robert, but still marries Lacy anyway, who knows he's not the father. Her husband leaves her. She reconnects with Robert despite her explanation of why she didn't tell him about their child. The sparse storyline just glosses over any adverse effects to the child. The number of break-ups between the two is beyond nauseatingly shallow lack of communication. A real let down when you anticipate the joy of getting lost in a good movie that is underdeveloped and poorly executed.
