Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The first time I saw Moonlight, I was too busy watching the movie to appreciate it. I was following plot, thinking ahead, wondering what was going to happen. I was angry at Chiron's mom, frustrated by teen bullies and worried about Chiron's day-to-day life. I thought the ending was abrupt and not exceedingly hopeful. I couldn't have been more wrong. The second time I watched Moonlight, I was able to SEE it. And what I saw is a near masterpiece of film making. The acting is superb, but so subtle that it's easily missed. Quiet nuances, a look, a movement. Every actor in every role brings a palpable reality to his/her role that breathes life and depth and emotion to the screen. It is the art, the things unsaid, the gentle touches that makes Moonlight a truly great motion picture.
