"There's just a lot to examine. I think, overall, we're in a really divided and divisive time, and that's really kind of spilled over into dating. It's tragic because, ultimately, all we're hungering for is connection, like, real connection, and to be fully seen and accepted and loved."
"What's refreshing about this story is, you know, in the classic rom-coms, there's miscommunication, and you're yelling at the screen because you're just like, 'Why don't you guys just say the thing!' These are people who communicate. These are people who say things that need to be said, especially Nicole, who's a truth-teller. I love that that's reflected. I love that you see these adults in relationship having tricky, hard, uncomfortable conversations because I think that's what's going to be required."
Love, Brooklyn premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and centers on love, friendship, and creative ambition set against Brooklyn's rapidly changing landscape. Nicole is portrayed as grounded and largely unadorned, requiring minimal hair and makeup and carrying little artifice. The story examines modern dating's spillover from a divided cultural moment and the universal hunger for genuine connection, acceptance, and love. Characters communicate openly and confront difficult, uncomfortable conversations, with Nicole functioning as a truth-teller. The film features André Holland, Nicole Beharie, DeWanda Wise, and Roy Wood Jr., and is directed by Rachael Abigail Holder.
