Review of Moonlight (2016) by Keywestfilmstar — 12 Dec 2016

I can only say this movie held me in it's grip and left me thinking about it weeks after seeing it. Not a single misstep or flaw and characters that turned stereotypes on their heads. The three acts of the man's difficult life, Little, Chiron, and Black, were stunningly portrayed by actors who made me care about this character in a way I have not felt for a long time.

I was literally holding my breath at the end, and when I released it, I felt as if I was letting a real person go with the hope that there would be more kindness and love in store for a beautifully dimensional, wonderfully portrayed depiction of a young man coming to realize that he was not only lovable but worthy of love.
