Tessa Thompson (TessaThompson_x) and Nnamdi Asomugha play star-crossed lovers passionate about jazz in late-'50s/early-'60s New York in Eugene Ashe's second feature, 'Sylvie's Love'

Possibly the most wholesome film since the lifting of the Hays Code to feature a professional jazz musician as one of its protagonists, 1950s/early-60s-set romanceis an unabashed throwback to the women's pictures of Hollywood's Golden Age.

If you can put all those problems aside and read this as an anodyne romantic fantasy, as harmless as a dog-eared library paperback with lots of eye and ear candy, then you're in for a treat. Star Thompson, serving up perfectly coiffed chic throughout in a series of immaculately tailored dresses and more casual but precisely coordinated ensembles , plays the titular Sylvie Johnson.

That gives you a sense of the kind of lush hyperbole the film is prone to. Still, the original tunes written for the movie by Fabrice Leomte are rather fine, persuasively bebop, and blend in well with the eclectic selection of period tunes on the soundtrack. Moreover, when Sylvie, Robert and some of the other characters talk about key signatures and quadruplets, they're reasonably convincing as people who really know jazz.

Hunting is such a controversial topic in the UK that it's clear that is EXACTLY what they were trying to do. I think they were trying to gin up controversy for the show and the anti-hunting crowd at the same time.
