What a deeply moving story. Moonlight speaks for the young boys without fathers, without a mothers who can teach him, who are bullied and teased, who are born into dangerous communities, who are confused in a society that devalues difference. This film is a powerful visual symphony, using imagery, movement, and light more than language to express the feelings of growing up and discovering oneself. Every moment was carefully constructed and the results are beautiful. Most definitely worthy of Oscar Best Picture. A triumph.
