Review of Moonlight (2016) by Harry W — 21 Mar 2017
Moonlight compels me to give it 5 stars. Upon finishing the film, I didn't really understand completely what I had just witnessed, it's definitely one of the most provokingly sensitive and probing looks in at an anonymous character's existence and the details that frame his perspective are so distinct and delicate that it's charming throughout.
Moonlight is incredibly tragic and a film that feels needed in the LGBT community as well as the general film community. Both independent and inclusive, Moonlight is fascinating, marvellously acted and generously proportioned in both feeling and thought.
It's definitely a film that is hard to describe and the brilliant acting capabilities from all three men who play the title character are breathtaking and so so haunting that the film stays with you long after it ends.
I can't say if it fully deserved the Best Picture Oscar this year as I haven't seen the other entrants, however it is definitely deserving of any praise that it receives.
