(I'll keep this short because I don't want to spoil the film) Prior to me viewing this film, I went in the theater completely blind. I didn't watch a trailer, I didn't read a review, or anything of that nature. It was stated that Moonlight is a brilliant film , and you know what, it IS!

From the beginning to the end, the Moonlight is very captivating from the writing, cinematography, the acting, and the music. The actors in this film played their parts extremely well; Barry Jenkins (director) did an outstanding job, and the writing is top notch.

This is an emotional film overall; However, I will state that given the events that some people in the inner city/poor experience in life, the film does an amazing job displaying how messed up life can be for certain individuals who are just trying to live their life from early childhood, the teenage years, and then into adulthood. At the end of the day, you can't help who you are and no one should be punish for it.

5/5
