This movie is a masterpiece. It is a brilliant character study and I have to say bravo to Barry Jenkins who made this movie. I believe that best aspect about this movie is that the movie does not show the character as a separate character that we watch but the movie made it into a movie where we experience together with Chiron.

We don't always see Chiron to choose every movement but just watch him to experience the pain. The pain that suffers does not feel like a third person watching a person suffers but the audience suffers together.

Every character is important in the movie and supports Chiron as who is right now. As we see the other performance including the incredible Mahershala Ali as Juan the father figure of Chiron. Some people are saying it is overrated but they are not understanding the human raw emotion that goes into those character.

That is why I am giving a 10/10 because of it's raw emotions in the movie and the raw performance by the actors.
