Review of Moonlight (2016) by Squaredren — 26 Apr 2017
To start and make it clear, this movie has some of the best acting ever on a film. The film itself had some big flaws, at least for my taste. The 1st & 2nd acts felt so organic, it presents situations that people may feel related to, because it was very well made and close to real life situations.
Once the 3rd act starts, there is a little "situation" involving the encounter of two characters. That "situation" felt too unreal, & cheap. It's something that just doesn't happen in real life, and felt forced so that these two characters meet each other.
That organic feeling from the first two acts just felt destroyed by that 3rd act and made me feel disconnected & angry by a long time. Therefore, I just felt very underwhelmed by that and it destroyed my experience watching the film.
Honestly not worthy of the Oscars best film, but still worth to watch & judge by yourself.
