The film is flat.

It just was not nuanced or colorful enough for me.  We watched a boy get bullied as a child & teen for being a "faggot", but he did not even seem gay or different.  Ok, fine.  Some things can just be implied.  Cool.  His mom being a crackhead while he warmed up his own bathwater and oddly finds himself in the hands of Juan & Teresa was a stronger story than him being gay.  I wanted to know more about Juan and Teresa. Who are these amazing , open minded and giving people from the hood?  But instead... we quickly find out Juan died and even had a funeral.  Ok...

Chiron, still ugly... is now in high school... He eventually messes around with the fine ass Dominican kid who was always nice to him his whole life.  But they never talk again after Chiron damn near kills the school bully.  He then grows up to be hyper masculine, isolated & in the streets -- a mirror of Juan.  The only Daddy he ever knew.

10-20 years later.... Randomly, he gets a call from the Dominican dude who is now an extra from a black 80's sitcom. Steve Harvey fro and all.  And looks about 10 years older than Chiron.  He also has completely fallen off and became the head cashier at fucking Denny's.  Yet even as a little kid he was rocking jewelry (had a gold chain and earrings) and had a car in high school with even more jewelry.  So, that leads me to believe his parents had money.  Or he at least loved nice things.

But now he's on the bus, stops wearing jewelry & looks 45? Eh... I get the whole "life hands you lemons" thing they tried there but weird writing and casting choice.  And it was too distracting for me to fully engage with the end of the story.

Chiron drives a million miles to eat some dry ass diner food and they live happily ever after.

What is a PLOT?  What is good writing?

It was just alright. But I can see why white America is going up.  They just realized we are more than share croppers & field workers.

So, good for Moonlight.

I didn't think Chiron was ugly in High School :dead:

It was GREAT, But I was a little confused at Act 3

I almost feel like it was meant to be a 2 part movie cause much more time developing the adult characters was needed.


!!!!! PERIOD

u can have ur opinion, but i have every right to say this

Yeah the adult potion was def lackluster... Also, it's sad that the kids/teens are not doing more interviewers for their phenomenal acting and building a name for themselves... they deserve more shine than Trevonte fine ass and Andre Bitch ass

I seriously feel like the children did all the work

Wasn't impressed with the adults ONLY because I feel like they weren't given enough time to give us much. I feel like I only felt the chemistry and tension because of what I saw already take place in their childhood

The Young lead was incredible

nnnnnnnnn boy

You ain't no damn Juilliard instructor.

The movie & cast were perfect.
