Moonlight Response

I would give Moonlight a 7/10.

The film had incredible cinematography and use of visuals. A scene that specifically stands out to me is when Chiron’s mother is yelling at him, and the scene has no sound and is slow. The camera cuts between the two of them, showing both of their perspectives. It is from the same height, which is used to exemplify how small Chiron is compared to his mother. This, paired with the shot’s silence, exemplifies that it doesn’t matter what she’s saying, because the part Chiron will remember will always be the way she yelled and the way it made him feel. Throughout Chiron’s childhood, we see many moments from his perspective and size. This scene feels like the culmination of all of these shots.
