In amazing and very important film. I’m glad that it won best picture. If you haven’t seen this film yet, I would suggest to give it a shot as I said, it’s really quite amazing and it’s very important so I can repeat myself but it’s true.

This movie is a spectacular piece of art! It paints such a raw and real picture of life and the challenges of being a Queer POC growing up in an underprivileged area. The cinematography is gorgeous as well as the soundscape! It is a tough one to watch at times but it amazes me how they could capture the beauty, strength and tenderness of the characters. It also is comprised of an incredible cast and crew. Looking forward to the directors next piece!

This movie is wonderful and I see why it won 6 Golden Globe nominations. It may or may not be for everybody but you should at least give it a watch before judging. Never judge a book by the cover. Enjoy.

An engrossing character study that comes alive through the rich performances of the stellar cast and Barry Jenkins expert craftsmanship in his directorial effort. Mahershala Ali is one of the best actors out there and rightly won the Supporting Actor Oscar. From the moment he comes on camera, you cannot help but be drawn to him. A beautifully made film.

This just randomly showed up at my local BB for less than $10 I believe. Had the slip and everything! Great release.

Moonlight is one of those films that anytime your mind tends to float back to it inevitable feelings of great sympathy and understanding come with it. It is a film that both simply and oh so complexly transcends all barriers of politics and beliefs and presents a bare bones human story that just so happens to deal with being black and being gay. It's always been clear, especially from the outside looking in, that the culture that forms young black men is one of the most high-pressure environments for one to be tough, hard, or essentially show little to no feeling at all. "Toxic masculinity" as it has been labeled in recent writings. There has long existed the stigma that to be hard or worthy of being a man one must be largely indifferent to those things that naturally give us weaknesses in the world. By tackling this idea and how it affects the growth and development of one underprivileged youth is at one time to present exactly what it promises while at another-painting a much broader picture of this toxicity that has been constructed by society for which many young men are led to believe there are certain actions that have to be taken or certain attitudes that must be adopted in order to make them worthy of being a man. This doesn't have to necessarily deal with being gay or straight, but more this condition is about those stereotypes of men-emotionless, dominant, violent-that society has relayed to determine certain levels of masculinity. That Moonlight addresses such expectations and the baggage and torture such expectations can carry when not met in the judgmental environments of the projects or of high school or even of one's mother who knows the essence of her son, but isn't strong enough herself to stand up to such stigma's thus leaving that child for the wolves of the world is powerful enough. That Moonlight is able to explore these largely ignored aspects of manhood in such poetic and provocative ways as through the lens of a young man growing up black, poor, and gay only makes these points that much more enlightening and subsequently-that much more powerful. Moonlight is a film that, anytime you think about, are reminded of, or even consider the ground it covers and the essence of what it embodies not only in its ideas and themes, but in its nearly flawless execution inevitable feelings of great sympathy and understanding come flooding back as well. More than anything, writer/director Barry Jenkins understands the human element at the core of these issues and by parlaying as much through the single perspective of Chiron at three different stages of his life we are delivered a fleshed out portrait of the true internal tendencies versus the ideals we're taught we should become.

one of the greatest movies ever made, glad it won the oscar over that other stupid movie

Excellent movie. Looks great on blu ray. Very moving story. Deserved the oscar.

With an immaculate score, vibrant and colorful cinematography and some brilliant performances, this drama is a tent-pole to which all future films about finding one’s identity shall be compared to.

So proud to have this on DVD. Yes it’s on Netflix, yes I can find it anywhere online but if that gets taken down I still have it. This movie inspired me so much! Thank you!

Great movie!! as expected since it is A24!! Would 100 recommend

I bought this as a Black Friday ad deal but hadn't seen it yet but it is a great film and I am all over every chance I get to buy a Blu-Ray with a digital copy

A Powerful film. A definite must watch for anybody!

Acting was so good it made the movie worth watching. Difficult subjects presented in a beautiful way made for an entertaining event. Worh seeing for sure.

Great life story. Great love story. The life journey of the lead character, Chiron, is very inspiring. It deserves its Best Picture award, among others.

Barry Jenkins is the 21st Century Gordon Parks. His precise directorial skills and unhinged freedom manifest some of this movies greatest moments! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Moonlight is the type of movie you watch to think. It presents ideas many movies have not nailed until this one. Moonlight is a patient movie, the viewer may not understand something until one line of dialogue is said that makes the whole movie be views different. But enough of the philosophical stuff, the movie really is a masterpiece. The performances are outstanding. These are not well known actors or big blockbuster actors, they are actually acting their hearts out and giving a genuine and emotional performance. It's visually stunning too. The cinematography makes packs every frame with so much emotion, you can stop the movie at any moment and the picture layed on your screen will look like a painting filled with thought and care. Even the script flows well along with everything and that is due to the outstanding direction. Overall Moonlight is the best movie of the year and deserves to be studied by any aspiring filmmaker.

This movie is so authentic and beautiful. The musical selection and actors/actresses were amazing in this movie and played their roles very well!

My wife and I watched this movie and it was amazingly written, directed, and the acting was top notch. A must see movie!!

Nice addition to my collection. Mahershala is outstanding. Blu-ray disc was in new condition and no issues with playback.
