It was a good movie. It had unnecessary, slow paced scenes but other than that the story was good. There are three Acts/Phases for the protagonist. You witness the highlight of Chiron's life from when he's a kid, a teenager, and then adulthood.

What I'm baffled as to why this movie passed up as the best motion picture when there were scenes that had nothing to do about Chiron's life or anything that would pertain the story itself. While the cinematography, the acting, and of course the development of the story according to Chiron, it was all done so well.

Especially portraying the bullying and with one's personal struggle throughout life. While the interpretation is well made, Chrion's interactions with other characters were quite limited. It would have been nice if there were more scenes between them and Chiron, so they're more portrayed than they already are.

Don't get me wrong, this movie really is well done and so if anyone's curious to pick this up then go for it. It really is the best motion picture drama of 2016.
