Review of Moonlight (2016) by Kaptenvideo — 21 Mar 2017

One of this award season's hottest movies, eventually winning the best picture Oscar. The black boy is "different" (turning out to be gay) and doesn't know what to do about it. There are three stories, portraying him as a youngster, teen and a grown-up.

The movie is good but never exceptional and thus not really worth all the hype it has gotten so far. Sure, it's quality work but not reaching some dazzling heights that 224 movie awards and 204 nominations are hinting at.

I am disappointed by Mahershala Ali getting a best supporting actor Oscar for this.
