“My mama does drugs?” Chiron says to Juan. It’s an intentional move away from the aloof style and perfection of most big. The film stars Trevante Rhodes, Andr Holland, Janelle Mone, Ashton Sanders, Jharrel Jerome, Naomie Harris, and Mahershala Ali. There is a poisonous irony in the relationship. In Moonlight, it’s the process of keeping the audience aware of the maker’s hand and of the actors playing. Moonlight is the tender, heartbreaking story of a young mans struggle to find himself, told across three defining chapters in his life as he experiences. Moonlight is a 2016 American coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Barry Jenkins, based on Tarell Alvin McCraney 's unpublished semi-autobiographical play In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue. Juan and his equally concerned partner (Janelle Monáe) give the boy a meal and urge him towards the straight and narrow.
In the first, “Little” (Alex Hibbert) encounters Juan (Mahershala Ali), a kindly drug dealer, when hiding from bullies. That character, who goes by three names, is played by three different actors in three discrete acts. As meticulous in his shots, clean in his colours and precise in his rhythms as Wong Kar Wai, Jenkins gives us a complex American hero to compare with Huckleberry Finn or Holden Caulfield.
(Contrast that with this week's proudly stagey Fences). The film was nominated for four BAFTAs, six Golden Globe Awards, winning for Best Motion Picture - Drama, and eight Academy Awards, winning for Best Picture. Oscar-winner for Best Picture, MOONLIGHT is a moving and transcendent look at three defining chapters in the life of Chiron, a young man growing up in Miami. The tender, heartbreaking story of a young mans struggle to find himself, told across three defining chapters in his life as he experiences the ecstasy. No traces of the film's origins in an unperformed play remain. As if that doesn’t sound sufficiently overworked, it is about the particular challenges that hard men encounter when they walk down mean streets.Ĭinema has been in and around this area time and time again, but Moonlight still feels abundantly fresh and endlessly imaginative. Barry Jenkins’s transcendent second feature is about the challenges boys encounter as they become men. This environment upholds toxic, heterosexist masculinity as the accepted social norm, devaluing all other forms of gender or sexual identity.
