New Sylvie’s Love Trailer: The Right Love Comes at the Wrong Time

Amazon Prime Video has released a brand new trailer for Eugene Ashe’s upcoming romantic drama film Sylvie’s Love, featuring a new look at MCU star Tessa Thompson as her character finds the right love at the wrong time. Also starring Nnamdi Asomugha, the film will be available for streaming on Friday, December 25. Check out the video in the player below!

In Sylvie’s Love, the jazz is smooth and the air sultry in the hot New York summer of 1957. Robert (Nnamdi Asomugha), a saxophonist, spends late nights playing behind a less-talented but well-known bandleader, as a member of a jazz quartet. Sylvie (Tessa Thompson), who dreams of a career in television, spends her summer days helping around her father’s record store, as she waits for her fiancé to return from war. When Robert takes a part-time job at the record store, the two begin a friendship that sparks a deep passion in each of them unlike anything they have felt before.

As the summer winds down, life takes them in different directions, bringing their relationship to an end. Years pass, Sylvie’s career as a TV producer blossoms, while Robert has to come to terms with what the age of Motown is doing to the popularity of Jazz. In a chance meeting, Sylvie and Robert cross paths again, only to find that while their lives have changed, their feelings for each other remain the same. Writer/director Eugene Ashe combines romance and music into a sweeping story that brings together changing times, a changing culture, and the true price of love.

The movie also stars Eva Longoria, Aja Naomi King, Wendi Mclendon-Covey, and Jemima Kirke. Written and directed by Eugene Ashe, it had its world premiere earlier this year at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

Sylvie’s Love is produced by Asomugha, Gabrielle Glore, Jonathan T. Baker, Ashe, and Matthew Thurm.
