Review of Moonlight (2016) by Jason D — 04 Jun 2017

Finally got to see "Moonlight" on Blu ray, because we don't get a lot of Indy films in my little town. I heard a lot of Buzz about this movie and saw that it won a lot of awards, so naturally I was really wanting to see this one in the worst kind of way.

I must say, it is beautifully shot, and artfully directed. The cast was great. All of the performance were tremendous. The standout for me, by far, was Naomie Harris as the mother of Chiron. I did feel the emotions that the characters were feeling and Mr.

Jenkins does a great job keeping you invested in the film. With all that now being said, this movie is way overhyped. Yes the movie is acted and directed well but the actual story did not do a lot for me.

Also there were aspects of the film that seemed out of place and definitely this is not a film for everyone. If you love it that is great and I understand but I do not see best picture o0f the year here.
