Blurb:

A chronicle of the childhood, adolescence, and burgeoning adulthood of a young Black man growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami.

INITIAL REACTION :

Every frame of Moonlight feels like a painting. Jenkins creates an atmosphere so immersive you forget you're watching a film.

FINAL REVIEW

Moonlight is cinema at its most powerful - intimate, beautiful, and profoundly moving. A landmark in Black filmmaking.
