Moonlight First Response Task

Moonlight (Barry Jenkins, 2016)           Critical Score:  7/10  

I think this was a beautiful film that touched upon a lot of deep and thought-provoking topics. I felt like the three actors throughout the film (showcasing the different stages of Chiron’s life) did a really good job at making the character feel like the same one, and each actor portrayed a different stage of Chiron’s life in a slightly different yet impactful way. The colouring of the movie was also so nice. 
Memorable Scene: 

 For me a memorable scene was the fight scene between Kevin and Chiron. Before any violence happens, there’s a shot where the camera tracks Terrell as he circles Chiron menacingly, and then right after it centres on Kevin as he is being peer-pressured into punching Chiron. It’s an impactful scene, and it uses a lot of interesting shots to portray the deep feelings on the characters’ faces.
