VIDEO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Lionsgate releases Southside with You<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented with a 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. This is pleasant looking with a nice, rich look in keeping with the romantic, almost fairy tale, tone the film sets while darker shots are decently stark but still keeping nicely defined detail.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is a bit basic but effective for a romantic drama with more focus on dialogue coming from the center channel with moderate usage for ambient noises and a low key score for front and rear speakers. It\u2019s not going to challenge your system yet it\u2019s halfway decent enough.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, Southside with You<\/em><\/strong> is a simple, and incredibly short (74-minutes w\/o credits), romance-drama that works more for the two lead performances by Tika Sumpter and Parker Sawyers who do great work going beyond impersonating and giving the future President and First Lady depth. The Blu-ray released by Lionsgate offers great video, good audio and a disappointing selection of bonus features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
