I would like to start off by saying that this movie was very good because they took out it was a movie filled without stereotypes and ignorance. The movie really had me into the story with the concept of how people can love each other within their race. Which I completely enjoyed. However, the story felt really rushed and skipped to love too fast. Don't get me wrong I understand the money budget with making black films is not that large, but the movie should have taken its time and should have had bigger plot issues or twists. Honestly, I really enjoyed the movie also showing black owned businesses because we need more of those anyway. In conclusion, the movie was a thumbs up from me I love Darrin Henson and hope to see him in more movies as the main role, his acting was great and just don't try to rush a movie like this because I personally believe it could have had a more powerful impact.

I rated this movie based on entertainment and the message it conveyed. Me and my wife watched the movie and enjoyed it. It was hard for the first 20 or so minutes due to the dialogue and scenes. Movies I can't relate to are hard for me to watch. But the message was clear to me what the writer wanted to bring to the audience. With that being said, this movie is for everyone. Also there is a scene at the bookstore where they had the book 'The Law of Attraction' in the background positioned purposely for the audience to see (knowledge rule of thirds).Knowing a little about film I can understand the critics in regards to the flow of the movie and lack of continuity. But I feel that is due to watching the film rather than watching the film so to say. This is a common habit of those who study all aspects of art of film.All in all 8 out of 10! A must watch for everyone. It demonstrates what we need more of, positive black films.

Director, Mark Harris has taken another leap forward in his career with this latest addition of "Black Coffee." The delicate balance of black relationships is hard to capture in an authentic and heart felt way for most filmmakers, but Mark's command of subtle nuance pulls it off brilliantly here. I am particularly impressed with the way the storyline remains entertaining and sexy without ever going "raunchy". I appreciate Marks level of sophistication and taste. Black Coffee is a great relationship film for anyone of any background and especially those brothers and sisters in the world looking for love today. Great insights into the minds of men and women. A must rent for date night.

This movie has been all over Facebook and Instagram, so I had to check it out and I must say that it was very nice to go to a movie about love without any wild sexual language and overtones. I read that i could take my children and so I took my daughter and she loved it! A nice way to a love story without the drama all. The characters were nice, positive people and I enjoyed them all, though I loved to hate the ex husbands character. I also happen to be a business owner and I thought it was nice to hear inspiring things about business and things like that. Great movie and other than one or two parts, I have nothing but great things to say about it. I hope my sisters in Texas get to see it too, i heard it was only in 4 cities.
