Review of Moonlight (2016) by Pedro H — 05 Mar 2017
"Was there ONE white actor in this movie?!" was the first thing I heard as I left the theater after watching Moonlight, just a few hours ago. I also heard remarks such as "I'm not a homophobe, but," and "How could this piece of trash lose to La La Land.
" I was amused when I found out that those sentences came from the very same people that kept moving uncomfortably in their chairs, and talking out loud, and turning on their cell phones whenever the theme of homosexuality came up on the screen-which is pretty much all through the movie.
A hell of a traumatizing experience, one might add. It wasn't. The movie is so powerful and captivating, and it carries such innocent sublimity that, in the end, the only thing that really annoyed me about my company was how come they couldn't appreciate such an honest, beautiful picture as that.
Because Moonlight is more than necessary: it's beautiful.
