"The trailer is lush, narrated by old audio of Baldwin himself. 'When I was growing up, I was trying to make a connection between the life I saw and the life I lived,' he says. 'There are days when you wonder what your role is in this country, and what your future is in it. This is one of them.' It’s a haunting, effective choice, and a clever way to weave Baldwin right into the core of the teaser."

IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK erzählt im New York der 70er Jahre eine ebenso berührende wie dramatische Liebesgeschichte. DCM bringt den Film am 14. Februar 2019 in die deutschen und schweizer Kinos.
