Review of Moonlight (2016) by James H — 11 Apr 2017
Moonlight is a spectacular coming of age picture. The soundtrack fits the film and the cinematography is beautiful. Barry Jenkins' long takes are awe-inspiring. The performances are thrilling, all three lads that play Chiron are believable in the stage of his life that they are showing us.
Naomi Harris is a different person to what I've ever seen her in. I also really liked Mahershala Ali and Janelle Monáe, who has really made 2016 her breakthrough year, as well as everybody else. This wasn't necessarily relatable for me but I feel that if I was a gay black man, this would really resonate with me.
