T3ARS 4,132 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Reviews Spoiler Moonlight, Reviews 2016 film 4/4Roger Ebert 99%Rotten Tomatoes 99%Metacritic Critic reviews "Perhaps the most beautiful thing about Moonlight is its open-endedness, its resistance to easy summary or categorization." A. O. ScottThe NYTimes "Barry Jenkins’s new film somehow manages to feel grand and intricate in the same moment, weaving random memories and crucial life experiences into a gripping tapestry." David SimsThe Atlantic "Moonlight reaches for big insights on identity, race, culture, and sexuality, but never at the expense of the small, heartrending character study at its center." A.A. DowdA.V. Club "A socially conscious work of art as essential as it is insightful." Peter DebrugeVariety "Director Barry Jenkins has created a sublime, novelistic work of art by employing the specific in pursuit of the universal: Few will walk away from “Moonlight” untouched by its message." John AndersonWall Street Journal "Jenkins burrows deep into his characters’ pain-seared memories, creating ferociously restrained performances and confrontational yet tender images that seem wrenched from his very core." Richard BrodyThe New Yorker "Barry Jenkins' Moonlight is such a calm yet precise piece of filmmaking that you're barely prepared for its shimmering, quietly sensational ending." Stephanie ZacharekTime "It's difficult to distill the power, grace, and grit that make this drama so unforgettable." S. Jhoanna RobledoCommon Sense Media "Hype would bruise Barry Jenkins’s Moonlight, which is so delicate in its touch that the usual superlatives sound unusually shrill. It’s the gentlest, most suggestive of great films." David EdelsteinVulture "Chiron emerges as the most touching exemplary of the film’s nuanced perspective, as he grapples with the layers of his own identity as an African American man who happens to be gay." Ann HornadayWashington Post 2 Synopsis Spoiler A young man deals with his dysfunctional home life and comes of age in Miami during the "War on Drugs" era. The story of his struggle to find himself is told across three defining chapters in his life as he experiences the ecstasy, pain, and beauty of falling in love while grappling with his own sexuality. I urge everyone to see this film. Here's a video review that I believe truly captures how beautiful this movie is: It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. - Audre Lorde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
