Atom User Reviews for Moonlight
Woooo! I only vaguely knew what the movie was about...I wasn't prepared for the wave of emotions! Beautifully done, and very REAL.
There's no real plot line
Relative to today's awareness on sexual orientation and addictive paraents.
At times a bit slow but plot was well written
A beautifully shot film! Loved it!
It was painful to watch, however it was a great story and well done.
Such a beautiful insight on a life that doesn't get that type of look
Best cinematography I've seen all year
Moonlight is a film that will leave you entertained and satisfied by the end. A look into what it means to be gay when your world asks you to be hard.
I will b doing a second viewing
it was very heartfelt
STUNNING!!
Original story but could of used the 3rd person narrative treatment to make up for lack of dialogue.
It was good but it I needed more.
Hard to watch but subtle and beautiful storytelling.
Definitely one of the realist films I have seen since I could remember. The acting was superb, nothing was over exaggerated. A must see!
AMAZING
A beautiful film that actually told a story with concrete characters and an important subject matter.
a must see for a view on African American life from one boys standpoint
Best film of 2016
I felt this film
slow but beautiful. music was on point.
Powerful!
Over all pretty boring. Not worth seeing. Watch Logan or King Kong instead. I could not relate to the reviews at all because everyone seems to think this is the best movie ever when really the movie is just a statement piece
7.75/10
Metacritic
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.
