Review of Moonlight (2016) by The3Academysins — 03 Aug 2017

Moonlight is a highly ambitious and extremely hyped arthouse flick. I have to say, I had to see the movie twice in theaters to really wrap my head around it. There is some amazing acting and cinematography in Moonlight, and it really does stand out as an above average queer film.

It's a solid first film, and I can't wait to see what the writer and director do next! My biggest complaint is the performance of Naomi Harris. Her character is so unbelievable that it really took me out of the film.

It wouldn't have bothered me so much if her character hadn't played such a big role. I can't honestly give this film higher than a 6, that's how badly it bothered me.
