‘Beyond The Lights’: Gina Prince-Bythewood gets romance right
Prince-Blythewood understands that romance is all about the connection forged between two people, so she wisely shoots the majority of Kaz and Noni’s scenes together in two-shots. Whether it’s sitting on the couch of her home, listening to her hit as she tries to turn it off in embarrassment, or pouring over her box of lyrics on the floor of her bedroom, or sitting in his car at the airport eating fried chicken. These are two people sharing time and space, and we’re always watching what’s unfolding between them, not just how things are for each of them separately.
