MOONLIGHT tells the moving story of young Chiron, who grows up in a part of Miami far away from the city’s bright lights. From childhood to adulthood, the film depicts decisive moments in Chiron’s life, as he discovers himself, fights for his place in the world, and finds and then loses his first love. MOONLIGHT is a unique slice of cinema, revealing how our search for a place in the world, our environment, our own family and our first love shape us.
A moving and universal story of love and forgiveness, MOONLIGHT makes a plea for sympathy and empathy.
Is a Masterpiece. We leave the theater as different people.
