Well, three decades of Miami, seen through the eyes of a young, black gay man. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And this isn\u2019t the Miami that was so gloriously covered with mountains of cocaine through the early 80s like in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scarface<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead, it\u2019s a neon-soaked version of my city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miami is home to the protagonist, known as \u201cLittle,\u201d \u201cChiron\u201d and \u201cBlack\u201d throughout three decades of his life. Growing up in a decidedly rough part of the city is no easy task as he struggles with poverty and sexuality throughout the film. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rest of the supporting cast does a serviceable job, though the two standout performances out of the secondary characters make this film something special. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andr\u00e9 Holland portraying Chiron\u2019s friend, Kevin, is an Oscar worthy performance. The friendship between the two is unlike anything seen in films, escalating to a moment of pure awe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mahershala Ali as Juan also gives a noteworthy performance. A father figure\/mentor, his guidance gets Chiron through (and occasionally into) trouble. He\u2019s less like an Obi-Wan and more like a Mickey from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rocky. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a subtle and understated performance that, again, generates Oscar worthy buzz. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barry Jenkins\u2019 screenplay is well written, but it\u2019s the quiet parts of the film that speak the loudest. Those are the moments that make this film an American classic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read those words carefully. An American classic. Now, no film in the last few years has made me think that since the release of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1853728\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Django Unchained <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 2012. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s saying a lot, considering this story must be alienating to some. A great movie doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be relatable (see <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Empire Strikes Back<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Big Lebowski)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but a relatable movie can be great. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At its heart, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moonlight<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a rare film that questions the meaning of friendship and acceptance. Those looking for an unflinching and relentless work of art, should look no further than <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moonlight.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWho is you, man?\u201d These are the first words in Moonlight, a different coming of age film in America\u2019s long history of films like Stand By Me and Boyhood.
