“Beale Street” opens in limited release on Nov. 30, distributed by Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures. Expectations will be high following “Moonlight,” but Jenkins has made a movie that’s true to Baldwin’s book and spirit, irrespective of any assumptions audiences might make about what an best-picture follow-up should look like. (Appropriate, because “Moonlight” upended people’s ideas about what a best-picture Oscar winner could be in the first place.)
