Plot summary

What is If Beale Street Could Talk movie plot?

Here is a short review of "If Beale Street Could Talk" movie plot summary.

While the film is presented in a non-linear structure, this plot summary is written in a linear fashion.
Clementine "Tish" Rivers (KiKi Layne) and Alonzo "Fonny" Hunt have been friends their whole lives, and begin a romantic relationship when they are older. It is the early 1970s, and they struggle to find a place to live as most New York City landlords refuse to rent apartments to black people. They eventually find a place in a warehouse in the process of being converted to loft apartments; Levy (Dave Franco), the Jewish landlord, agrees to rent it to them at a reasonable rate because he enjoys seeing couples who are in love, regardless of their race.
That night, Tish is harassed by a man while shopping at a mostly white grocery store. When he begins to assault her, Fonny (Stephan James) physically throws the man out of the store. A white policeman nearby, Officer Bell (Ed Skrein), witnesses the incident and attempts to arrest Fonny, but reluctantly lets him go when the white woman who runs the grocery store vouches for them and chastises Bell for his racism.
Fonny is later arrested and accused of raping a woman named Victoria Rogers (Emily Rios). Although it would have been nearly impossible for him to have traveled from the scene of the crime to the apartment where he was arrested in the amount of time between the rape and the arrest, the case against Fonny is considered strong due to Officer Bell's testimony, in which he claims to have seen Fonny fleeing the scene, and Victoria having identified Fonny in a lineup as her rapist. Tish, as well as Fonny's friend Daniel Carty (Brian Tyree Henry), were with him at the time of the rape, but his alibi is not considered reliable due to Tish's romantic relationship with Fonny and Daniel's previous conviction for grand theft auto (the result of a plea bargain after being arrested for marijuana possession).
