i love how when the third act starts and you think "oh my god... he's so different now" then chiron gets a phone call from kevin and BOOM he's back to that boy from the first act. moonlight invented acting

LucyJan 15, 2017"You’re the only man who’s ever touched me... you're the only one." I don't understand how anyone can make it through the ending of this film without literally having their heart ripped into a thousand tiny pieces. Just as good the second time, if not better.

The little smile that Kevin does after Chiron tells him that he's the only man he's ever been with is the only thing in the world that matters. It's perfect.
#1 gizmo fanSep 3, 2016MOONLIGHT is *MAGNIFICENT.* a specific but utterly symphonic portrait of masculinity in the modern world. every shot is seared into my brain. it's also a devastatingly beautiful love story. to put it in the most reductive / tantalizing terms possible, think CAROL by way of…
davidehrlichNov 3, 2016I'm not sure we as a society deserve a movie as empathetic and open-hearted as Moonlight right now, but I'm grateful it exists.

i cried like 7 separate times
Sabrina Bondi likedMoonlightJenkins boils a life down to its decisive moments: a life in three parts in an eloquent and acute summation with Britell’s heart-rending music underlining. Beautifully shot, dynamically acted, with a magnificent score, it’s the type of film that only grows emotionally as time fly

3/10
Jikitiz lovedMoonlightRaw, emotional, stunning, exquisite, lush, brutal, profound, nuanced, empathetic, and most importantly, original. Barry Jenkins' Moonlight provides a genuine story about trauma and the journey of becoming your own person. It is very much an "Arman" movie and should be studied. ❤️

really good!
Macy lovedMoonlightI analyzed this movie for a film class I took last semester and to say I, as well as the entirety of the class, was touched by the story would be an understatement. Moonlight was extremely eye opening and tackles quite a few heavy subjects in beautiful ways. It is a must watch!
Maxwell Wood lovedMoonlightReference, in the end, back to the scene with jaun, he’s in blue light after resolving his trauma and gayness with mom/kev respectively. where Juan was when he decided who he was and only he got to decided. it’s anticlimactic because Teresa said only he’ll know when he knows.

Woooo! I only vaguely knew what the movie was about...I wasn't prepared for the wave of emotions! Beautifully done, and very REAL.

Moonlight is gorgeous and yet bleak, uplifting and yet sobering, exhilarating but also grounded in some unshakable realities.

Moonlight is magic. So intimate you feel like you're trespassing on its characters souls, so transcendent it's made visual and emotional poetry out of intensely painful experience, it's a film that manages to be both achingly familiar and unlike anything we've seen before.

Moonlight is hypnotic not just as a character study, or as a coming-of-age story. It's hypnotic as a performance piece, full of flawless portrayals of a kid figuring out who he is, not just in relation to other people, but in relation to himself.
