Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- The fact that the film’s star, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, delivers a genuinely galvanizing performance as a singer searching for her own voice makes BEYOND THE LIGHTS not just enormous fun to watch but surprisingly gratifying on an artistic level.
Washington Post
Beyond The Lights gives the audience many other simple pleasures and, at least for its duration, makes us wonder what else we could ever want from the movies.

Rating: 3/5 --
A showbiz romantic melodrama that could have maintained an all-too familiar narrative and tone if it weren't for the freshness of its perspective and a vibrant performance from lead Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

Mbatha-Raw makes the trip interesting.
Chicago Sun-Times
3 stars out of 4 -- [A] wise and open-hearted look at the price of fame upon personal identity.
USA Today
Rating: 2/5 --
Unfortunately for a film about the importance of keeping it real, the drama here is largely formulaic, and the finish line crosses into the realm of artistic fantasy.

San Diego Reader
This film's got all the elements to make it a wide-release hit, a stunning lead couple, some catchy-if-a-little-cringey tunes, a good bit of social commentary for good measure and an outlandish dream-like love story.

Product Description:
Romance ignites between a troubled young singer on the cusp of stardom, and a handsome young cop with political ambitions in this drama about the power of walking your own path. Noni Jean (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is a talented singer whose ethereal voice has taken the world of music by storm. A glimpse beneath the surface, however, reveals a girl who's cracking under the pressure to top the charts. When Noni tries to end it all, concerned cop Kaz Nicol (Nate Parker) pulls her back from the ledge, and shows her that life is still worth living. Along the way, Noni and Kaz fall head over heels in love. Meanwhile, the powers that be conspire to keep them apart as well as focused on their respective careers. But without Kaz's love, Noni may never find her true voice.
