Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the little art film that pulled the big Oscar surprise, winning the Best Picture award in one of the strangest finales in Academy Awards history. If you didn't see the film in theaters, you probably aren't alone. This isn't the kind of film fare that makes it to the shopping mall cineplexes in Anytown, USA. Seeing it on DVD is likely the way to go for anybody interested in what the buzz was about, and the blu ray transfer is quite good, as you might expect, capturing the sights and sounds of those parts of Miami tourists usually never see. The film tells the story of Chiron, a withdrawn and bullied young boy trying to figure out life in his neighborhood and his own confusing feelings. His mother is a junkie, his best friend might be his worst enemy, and the only person who pays attention to him is the local drug dealer (played by Mahershala Ali in his Oscar winning supporting role). The film remains true to Chiron's story, well-played by three different actors, and doesn't resort to the crime melodramatics that the material otherwise suggests. Give credit to writer-director Barry Jenkins for delivering a film of surprising emotional depth. Did it deserve the Oscar for Best Picture over its competition? That's for you to decide, but "Moonlight" is definitely worth watching.

Very powerful story of the under side if Miami, away from the sun beaches. a tale of growing into adulthood

Lived up to the hope for me. A story all too familiar for many. Brilliant performances and cinematography.
