▼ + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Robert Daniels | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Much like Blackness is not monolithic, neither is Black love. The relationships in this collection range from young passions to midlife romance, and the types of movies range from glossy studio pictures to vital queer indies. That prospect would be easier if Harper, a writer, didn’t base his new book off his friends’ lives. Composed of a deep ensemble — Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan and Regina Hall included — the film follows multiple relationships as these adult friends confront their romantic futures through biting humor and unflinching honesty. And thankfully, it kicked off a charming romantic film and TV franchise.
