Moonlight (2016)
Dir. Barry Jenkins

7/10 – I enjoyed this film and rated it relatively high because I thought it gave a great insight into the life of a boy who doesn’t really fit into his school and peers, while dealing with his mother who is a substance abuser and is not giving him a good quality of life. I like how this film does not shy away from dealing with harsh topics such as this and bullying, as well as things like struggling with sexuality and racism.

The most memorable scene for me would be when Chiron is little in the first part and is standing in the hallway with his mother. This is the most memorable for me because I really like how the scene looks – shot in first person with his mother shouting at him, though it is completely over music.
