Review of Moonlight (2016) by Ian Y — 26 Dec 2017
Went into this movie thinking I'd dislike it. Especially given the fact that it's a story about a poor, black, gay man, I was expecting to be slammed over the head with progressive lecturing. What an utter surprise, then, that Moonlight turned out to be a story that is, at its core, about the longing for intimacy and how that's uniquely manifested in this particular protagonist's life.
It's also got strong acting and a killer visual style, to boot. What an absolute beauty of a film. Truly worthy of its Best Picture win.
