I saw Moonlight twice in the cinema and since I bought the DVD a month ago, have watched some or all of it on a daily basis. I just love it - one of the most tender and moving love stories I have seen. While the ending is a little less conclusive than I expected, it is completely in keeping with where the lead character is up to in his life. It is strongly rooted in Miami and a bit difficult if you are not familiar with the colloquialisms and lingo but I read heaps on line and watched lots of interviews and reviews and it helped my understand the story line. I appreciate it so much more for having done the research and got a lot more out of subsequent viewings.

The film that quite literally snatched the Best Picture award at this year’s Oscars – as well as winning Best Adapted Screenplay and Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali – is a life in three chapters. Shot with an almost dreamlike quality, Barry Jenkins' measured and moving drama is a journey of self-discovery and identity. A touching and remarkable one-of-a-kind film that resonates long after the end credits roll.
