Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: the only people who want to make 2020 longer. This past summer, the body that gives out the Oscars made the absurd and illogical decision that this year will end in February instead of December, so that films released two weeks after Valentine’s Day will still be eligible for the Academy Awards for this year.

The pleasure of this one, partly set in a jazz milieu, is its embrace of all the conventionsânot just the melodrama and the star-crossed lovers but careerist ambition, emergent feminism, cultural pretension. The heroineâs mother, Eunice (Erica Gimpel), presides over a Harlem finishing school that prepares proper little girls for cotillion.
