The Film Stage Jared Mobarak

Moonlight is a quietly introspective depiction steeped in unparalleled honesty of the ways in which we’re saved and damned throughout our lives. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

A disturbing and daring thriller with an exceptional performance by 13-year-old Laurien Van den Broeck. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Laurien van den Broeck's masterful unblinking performance transcends the uneasy all-English dialogue. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

A wild dream that spins into a nightmare, Moonlight isn't quite as provocative as it aims to be. But it will stick in your mind, and may even disturb your sleep. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Though rife with topics and images American audiences may find offensive, Moonlight addresses them fearlessly and with some artistry. Read full review

Menacing atmosphere created by Dutch helmer Paula van der Oest ("Zus & Zo") does not make up for the weak script's multiple improbabilities, flat dialogue or the discomfort of watching children, the handicapped and even animals being abused onscreen. Read full review
