This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's been done before, but not by you. Also, I'll be honest and say I didn't really get it.

Let me get this out the way first, Moonlight is a well written, well-acted, and well told story about identity in my opinion of course. Now that that's out of the way, I couldn't help but feel I've seen this before. I'll unpack that last statement soon, but first I'll discuss the production quality.

The cinematography was very good. The camera was very loose and fluid in a bunch allowing for sweeps, pans, and overall movement that allowed the movie to feel grounded, funny enough. Certain compositions stood out to me, mostly the close-ups of characters where they are centered.

The lighting for many interior shots gave certain scenes a dream-like quality to them.

The soundtrack was subtle, but the parts of it I loved the absolute most were the multiple renditions of 'Little's Theme' throughout. This beautifully gentle and peaceful piano piece, that starts off tender and shy, then becomes 'Chiron's Theme' and becomes deeper in tone with the same melody, and finally it becomes this confused violin piece in 'Black's Theme'. Each rendition just spoke to what Little was going through in the film, at first he was small and innocent, then growing up, and finally he was confused about who he really is.

Licensed music parts were good too, with the first song lyrics we hear in the film being 'Every **** is a star' I felt spoke to partly what this film was trying to say. And the use of Classic Man spoke to what Black was trying to feel for himself.

The characters were well written and acted. I genuinely have nothing more to add to that statement. No one really stood out to me, as everyone worked well together I felt.

The story was fine too. Once again, that's my genuine take there, nothing more to add.

I usually have more to say about these things, but in all honesty, I found Moonlight to be unoriginal and not really anything special. I'll admit that the movies status among people may have tainted my view of the film as I was watching it, but afterwards I tried to separate those expectations and judge the film by its own merit. From my own findings I found a lot of the plot to be contrived and typical.

A story about this young boy who is bullied at school (for being gay) with a rough childhood and parents who aren't really there for him, he finds some older person who looks after them and acts a second parent, the boy has a childhood friend who is the only constant good thing for them throughout and who really understands (them) and vice versa, at some point the bullying gets out of hand, and the kid is sent to the principle's office and is reluctant to give up the names of the aggressors out of fear of them, the boy shares some "romantic" and tender moment (maybe while smoking and outside) with the childhood friend (and maybe looses their virginity). Even the ending where they meet up again int the future and things seem like they haven't changed between them.

The storyline regarding Little/Chiron/Blacks sexuality was also very bare bones to be honest. He's gay and shy, gets bullied, but this one guy who seems like a real Chad is the only one who he's really cool with in some way and then they stare into each others eyes, kiss, then the Chad boy tries to hide his true feelings by doing something with the bullies that he doesn't want to, but does because he has a reputation to uphold.

I just feel like I've seen this before, I don't know. And I know I'm not providing any exact evidence of movies I found to be similar, and it's honestly because I'm blanking on them, but I just think of every one of those YA type movies like Lady Bird, or any John Greene book adaptation. Something along those lines. And once again, I had the expectations for the film, but even then, I never watched it thinking, "Oh this scene must be why this won and Oscar.", or "I can't wait for the part that people say is the best part of Moonlight." etc. I just watched it. The movies good, but funnily enough I just found it shallower than was promised.… Expand

The film has masterful performances by Mahershala Ali and Naomie Harris, in addition to a very well-kept script and competent direction by Barry Jenkins. No wonder it won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2017.

Took me a while to see 'Moonlight', with the controversy it garnered when it was announced for the Best Picture Oscar and the amount of hate it's got here part of me was wary.

Finally getting round to seeing 'Moonlight', it turned out that it was more than well worth the while and that the wariness was not needed. 'Moonlight' is not a perfect film and may not have been my personal pick for the Best Picture award (for me that was 'La La Land' though that is not a popular opinion it seems). Truly admired what it set out to do and found it a brave and powerful film, despite what the detractors say there is far more to 'Moonlight's' appeal than politics, sexuality and race (clearly trying to find conspiracy theories and reasons for why a film they dislike is loved by others, without taking into account that the film simply just connected to and resonated with those who liked it).

'Moonlight' does end on an anti-climactic note, some of the last act is a bit rushed. A longer length would have helped as a result, it also would have helped make a couple of events in the first act a little clearer and not so choppy.

It may not say much new, despite the ground-breaking concept on paper with the exploration of lives rarely seen on film, and doesn't always have subtlety. Then again it is tackling far from subtle themes and a heavy subject, so that sort of was going to be inevitable.

However, 'Moonlight' is an exceptionally well made film. The cinematography and editing are some of the most eye-pleasing and best of that year, and can't find anything to fault the expertly handled direction. The music is cleverly mixed and has haunting power and fluidity.

Regarding the writing, it is not perfect, at times as said a little heavy-handed and vague in parts, but it is thought-provoking and handles very ambitious, relevant, important themes with power, truth and (mostly) delicacy. The story makes the most of the three act structure, it's handled simply but not simplistically and also handled cleverly and with passion, honesty and intelligence. Found myself relating quite a lot to and being moved significantly by the story and found the film handled a heavy and sensitive subject matter with a lot of relevance and importance today more than admirably.

Can't fault the acting, doing wonders with compellingly real characters and strongly defined character relationships (especially the central one). Much has been made of Maharshala Ali and Naomie Harris and deservedly with two of the best performances that year, Ali especially is extraordinary. It is easy though to overlook Alex R. Hibbert, Trevante Rhodes and Ashton Sanders and one shouldn't, as they are just as worthy (particularly Sanders).

Overall, didn't completely blow me away but very well done and with a lot to admire. 8/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

The film tackles issues people may not have even crossed that average viewer's mind and does it brilliantly. It does not over dramatize, or over romanticize any moment. Everything is exactly how it should be. It provides insight into all types of challenges mixed into one perspective. Camera work also makes the movie feel first person. Scenes where the camera is half submerged into the ocean invokes nostalgia of when you were young and could barely keep your head above water. Everytime the film leaps in time to a different point in Chiron’s life, the viewer has a lot of catching up to do. Chiron changes on the surface in a substantial manner. However, eventually, you realize that each and every Chiron is the same on the inside. The message of self identity in this film is hammered home. I go back to my point of the film being a realistic painting. Many directors aim for twists on their films to make it feel authentic to themselves, similar to how Picasso may skew his paintings to make it identifiable as “a Picasso” . Barry Jenkins' approach was to make this film authentic to the viewer. He focused on the truth of the matter at hand. He found success in making the matter relatable to viewers who may have never thought to relate to Chiron.… Expand

Despite a few draggy scenes, "Moonlight" is heavy on the visual storytelling while gliding along like a paintbrush to a canvas. It delivers an effective story of a gay man's identity through his three crucial stages of life.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Moonlight takes the spot for my second favorite movie of all time. The concept/theme is interesting but the way it’s executed is out of this world and makes that concept/theme so much deeper and more engaging. The writing, directing and acting are all great and this is a movie that proves that you don’t need to have a total A-list cast to make a fantastic and Academy award winning movie; the only actor in this movie who I knew before seeing it was Mahershala Ali, who gave a phenomenal performance and deserved the Academy award that he won for his work in the movie. Chiron is a unique and complex character and it’s really engaging to watch how his personality affects him and his relationships with those he cares about as he grows up. The structure of this movie is also really cool, as it’s divided into 3 sections that each detail a part of Chiron’s life and how he changes as he goes from a boy to a teenager to an adult while still remaining the same in many ways. This is a film that showcases that no matter how old you get or how much mental development you go through, you’ll still be the same person in a lot of ways. The way that the movie flows and transitions through these 3 sections is great and doesn’t feel disruptive to it at all or cause any awkward or abrupt moments. Another thing that makes this movie more unique and complex than it may appear at first glance is how the movie is described in a google search. You’ll see it as “Gay & lesbian/Drama” or “Drama/LGBT” and a synopsis will talk about falling in love. I definitely agree with the drama, and it’s undeniable that Chiron is a gay character, but this movie isn’t about romance or LGBTQ related themes. It certainly includes them and makes sure we know about them, but Moonlight is really a coming of age story that’s rare and underrepresented in cinema and that’s part of what makes this movie as good as it is. I’m sure that there are people in the real world who have stories similar to that of Chiron and yet we never hear about any of them. Moonlight is a film about stories we don’t normally hear or care about. The struggle that Chiron goes through is a product of his upbringing and the environment that surrounds him throughout his life, and it’s a struggle that I’m sure so many other people will be able to relate to. This movie speaks to and for all of those people, and in that way it’s a fascinating work of art. Via all of this, Moonlight is incredibly realistic and accurate of real world situations, something I always appreciate in a film. This movie is a must-see for people who appreciate the genres that form it’s story and plot and well deserves the Academy award for Best Picture that it won.… Expand

Poignant is, main character, Chiron’s alienation from his peers and through the world of a child, you have to work out why he is different.

Meanwhile the score excellently captures the many different moods of his internal journey, fear, love, torment, betrayal and reconciliation.

Chiron is perceived as a victim and bullied until one striking incident. His life is shown at 3 different stages in 3 acts and each offer the viewer something different.

A lot of thought is put behind the story and you can see the intelligence in the smaller details. It took me a second watch to fully enjoy and appreciate the depth behind this masterpiece.… Expand

Although the movie was interesting enough (I made it through in one siting), it was missing the cinematography that would have made it "outstanding." I don't know if my own expectations were too high, or the movie truly was a let down. In any case, I found connecting with the 3 stories difficult, even though I really wanted to. This was mostly due to the sparse dialog, lack of drama, and poor character development outside of the character's sexuality (I mean it's great he was gay, but who IS he as a person).There were many distractions (cinematography and plot jumps/ holes) and unneeded tensions that I felt detracted from the movie. I hope you are able to enjoy it as much as "the aggregate" did.… Expand

The second act is without question the highlight of the story, where there is a drive behind the plot: we see the beauty and the ugliness perfectly captured within Chiron's life. The shots where the character's look into the camera are fantastic at drawing you into the feelings of the character. Sadly, the film lacks narrative depth and the plot is limited. Also, the first and third acts drag at moments. Yet after the credits rolled, I couldn't help but be charmed with the film I'd seen.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "3 Act structure," It better be the most emotional, painful, time in the characters life. I need to feel the emotion. I need that confrontation with your mother about the abuse and the neglect. I need you to make me feel the pain you feel everyday. Make me feel isolated as you did in school. Let me grow with you as a character. Make the shots resemble that growth, as the character grows and develops as do the shot stabilize and lighting seems not as harsh. As dose the world not seem as harsh and cruel anymore. Either I'm growing with you or I am not. One of the biggest events in the characters life, the death of a man that fed him and raised him could have been a symphony of emotions. Yet you chose to give us a back story you'll never use. Which is the biggest mistake in the film. How I'm I going to get emotional when I only have pieces of a story? I don't need another walk around film. I need connection, emotion, Life and death, the struggles defeating the demons. Because if you can't defeat them. How am I going to? We connect with the hero's journey because it gives us hope. Give me hope! Not just moments in your life. Show me the gold at the end of the rainbow.… Expand

Seriously, towards the end they made me not care about any character and, like the growing movement in Hollywood, this served to highlight yet another gay issue. I am particularly offended that they continue to push this issue about an extremely small portion of the population ignoring so many other avenues of true diversity.

If there's any lesson to be learned, it's that Moonlight's subtlety enhances its message and themes, and they don't play it safe, which is fairly hard in a social atmosphere that wouldn't praise its message. What I love about this film is that it isn't afraid to show the reality for its protagonist. Homosexuality in his community is a rough subject that isn't received well and is sadly filled with prejudice.

I'm going to talk about the best of this movie first and I'll begin with a big praise towards its WONDERFUL cinematrogtaphy and directing. All the shots in this movie are beautiful and the color palette adds to the intended mood of what the audience is watching. This is one of the most visually stunning movies I've seen in recent memory, I swear I could only rewatch it too see the beautiful shots this movie has. The performances are great and add to the realism this movie tries to give.

What this movie, for me at least, doesn't do that great, is everything else. The plot wasn't that great or interesting. The movie failed to make me care about the characters and the plot, because it wasn't too interesting. There's a huge plot hole between Chiron's adolescence and its adulthood, I don't know, maybe some more minutes of runtime to see what happened to him during that time gap, I think that could've added to his character, and most of the movie felt pretty standard and forgettable, nothing too bad, but anything great.

However the ending is so heartbreaking and perfect when you stop and think about it, the last shot of the movie is one of my favorites in recent memory, I think that the ending was what redeemed this movie.

This isn't my favorite movie of 2016 and it's not a great movie, it's good, the cinematography, acting, directing and the ending is what gives this movie a lot of points. It's a pretty bland and forgettable movie for the most part but those aspects I just mentioned are what save this movie from being bad.… Expand

How he somehow makes it to adulthood and survives with all those obstacles. The acting and direction is excellent throughout and is worth seeing.

I wanted to like Moonlight. Really, I did. But I can't. I don't know what it is about the film but it just frustrates me.

I screened this film as part of my research into the representation of sexuality and gender in film, believing thatI wanted to like Moonlight. Really, I did. But I can't. I don't know what it is about the film but it just frustrates me.

I screened this film as part of my research into the representation of sexuality and gender in film, believing that this was a significant work. And it is: the Academy Award for Best Picture winner and one of the most highly rated films on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. Naturally, with all the praise the film was lavished with, I was excited.

When the movie ended I was in a state of confusion. Confusion because when the credits started rolling my first thought was "Is that it?". I often like films that are subtle in the way they work and Moonlight is an extremely subtle movie yet at the same time it bears the subtlety of a brick to the face; Moonlight is the equivalent of someone tapping you on the shoulder, punching you and then running away before you have a chance to realise what's happening. The film is too conventional and tries too hard to be experimental with it's simplicity: our protagonist Chiron is met with a number of issues throughout his life which are generic, cliched and frankly uninteresting - people claim that this movie is "all too real" but for me it seemed like a shopping list of typical film issues that had all been neatly shoehorned to create the perfect tragic character. The problem I have with this is that a lot of the issues are unresolved by the time the film ends, but perhaps that was the entire point, but then again I stopped caring in the last 10 minutes. You see if you're going to go for a film with deep meaning you have to make one that's actively engaging. (Not that I would consider the film deep, it's more a shallow grave of ideas.)

What bothers me most about the film isn't even regarding the film itself but the reviews. It honestly feels as though this film has been lauded by the masses out of fear that to hold a contrarian view would mark you as either a racist or homophobic. You might read this and think I sound ridiculous but there are existing reviews that criticise this film based purely on its artistic merits, and the people writing those have been attacked for those exact reasons. Heck, I read an article suggesting that Moonlight itself is racist and I'll admit that they brought up some valid arguments.

I've glossed over much of the other elements that went into the making of this film and although you may think I'll criticise them, because I do not like the film, you are wrong. The performances are for the most part fantastic, Mahershala Ali in particular was deserving of his Oscar, the film is well-directed and has some great cinematography, the only problem I have is the screenplay and how forced some of the dialogue is.

So Moonlight was a great disappointment for me. A film I was excited for but one which ultimately failed to meet my expectations. While there are many brilliant things about this film there is simply one thing that is too significant to prevent the film from being anywhere near a masterpiece.

Honestly? They should have let La La Land keep the award.… Expand

Excellent cast, music, light and storytelling combined with political boldness and candidness. For the cast, I especially like the part when Kevin and Chiron reunite. For the music, I want to emphasize the breakdowns of sound. For the light,Excellent cast, music, light and storytelling combined with political boldness and candidness.

A story of Chiron's unfulfilled desire to feel loved plays out beautifully in this gentle film set in a gritty reality of the black neighbourhoods of USA's southeast. Attention holding right up until the end.

One of the worst movie of all times! Boring movie, I can't understand why it won the Oscar.

I appreciate the appearance of both LGBT and black characters on the screen. The story is tightly written, with interesting ideas, and it avoids all cliches in as wide an arc as possible.

Una muy interesante película, grandes actuaciones y linda historia. Es interesante con los tiempos que corren, pero es verdad que tiene sus partes aburridas. Dudo que haya alguien que la vea más de dos veces.
