Review of Moonlight (2016) by Ourtimehascome — 04 Apr 2017
Moonlight may think it's unique, but in fact it is incredibly trite. The entire plot is simply about how the main character deals with being a homosexual. There is no plot. It is a two and a half hour film about a boy discovering his sexual identity.
His drug dealing patriarchal mentor, drug addicted mother, and childhood bullying are all elements which have been done a million times before. There was so little payoff in a lackluster ending. The camerawork is all over the place, like it was directed by two different people.
The only thing I liked about the film was its attention to realism such as the relationships between students.
