Moonlight

"The only reason this movie stays in my head is because it’s use of water. Two of the most important scenes happen near or in water and make him into the person he is at the end of the movie. The water is the peace he craves only for him to get that peace taken away from it moments later. Works really well. Outside of those scenes, I tolerate this movie. I don’t dislike it but I don’t think ‘like’ is the right word for my interest. Definitely something I’m not going to rewatch by my own volition. "

"A beautiful and tragic look at about one man’s life and the acceptance of his queerness. "

"Incredible vulnerability. "

"Truly deserved Best Picture. Flawless cinematography, incredible casting and storytelling. Art house films deserve more love, especially queer stories fearing men and people of color. "

"Excellent film. If you’re a straight male, don’t avoid this film due to subject matter (it doesn’t get explicit with sexual intimacy). It’s a film every adult should make an effort to watch!"

"LOVE the representation. Honestly can’t say enough good things about this movie. "

"I really like the representation in this movie!"

"Story feels so personal and real. Great performances. Wasn't crazy about the ******* scene. But hey, still 10/10"

"Moving. Well acted."

"truly a breathtaking film. probably the best use of the “window into someone’s life across the years” trope i’ve ever seen. so genuine w realistic dialogue and heartbreaking turns. "
