I found it to be rather boring, and some things didn't feel like they made much sense. They most certainly tried hard, and it does somehow feel like it's well made, but it felt quite flat still. Some scenes I found an enjoyable atmosphere and depth in, but many others felt shallow and odd.

With beautiful cinematography and very powerfully acting, 'Moonlight' I think is one of the best films of the year. A story of the childhood, adolescence and adulthood of a young African-American gay man growing up in a rough neighborhood. Directed by Barry Jenkins and based on the play "In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue", this film won the Academy Award for Best Picture. My favorite part of the story is Part 1 when Chiron is a kid. The movie pulls you in from the beginning and never let's go.

“Moonlight” (2016) When I rented this DVD, I was excited to sit in my recliner, in my “man-cave” to watch the Best Picture of last year, according to The Academy Awards and The Golden Globes. I had read so much positive hype about this film; Metacritic gave it a score of 99. Geez Louise, that rarely happens! I knew very little about the movies, including most of its cast and crew. So, I went into “Moonlight” with pretty much an open mind, but came out of utterly confused; this could

Watch: Netflix | It was good until the abrupt ending. If it's supposed to be an art film I understand, but it spends so much time setting up things that never pay off.

A little disappointed that this complexly characterized and authentic consideration of black masculine identity is diminished in the second of its three acts. The first, beautiful and impressionist. The second, played safe and saccharine for easy sympathy. The third, a tense and slow emotional release.

I would love to link some characters to the growing up the main character. For example, what did he get from the drugs dealer? How did drug dealer's wife affect his life? Many short stories did not link to anything... The structure was very poor.

Original, captivating, complex, and emotionally devastating. The superlative technical qualities would have been enough, but then there's just this gem of a central character, seamlessly woven through three great performances, with a life expressed just enough to give him an arc, but not nearly enough to make you ever stop thinking about him. Please let this be a bellwether for the future of American film.

It's incredible to see a story told about a very specific and personal issue of identity with such clarity and passion and then see it get recognized on such a massive scale despite the relatively narrow set of experiences informing it. The movie is supremely delicate in ways such tragic character studies rarely are. Few people could have told this story, so its success is deeply heartening for those who appreciate film's ability to help us empathize with those outside of our own experiences.

I don’t even know how to talk about this. It’s beyond any movie I’ve ever seen or heard of in terms of raw emotional vulnerability. An eye lift, a pause, sends out a signal that sweeps me into Chiron’s world. It puts the lie to the idea that protagonists have to come from the same background as the audience to be relatable. The feelings here are naked, powerful, they sing of human pain and love. I don’t even know what to put in this review - the things expressed here are beyond words.
