Well done submitted by mmckenzie on June 25, 2017, 1:57pm Intense. I think the title should not have been shortened from the book. wished the movie had the same title "In moonlight black boys look blue".

Beautiful! submitted by Xris on July 31, 2017, 11:19pm The story drew me in and had me riveted the whole time. I cared about the characters.

Poignant submitted by S S on August 31, 2017, 10:15pm A beautiful coming-of-age story that is so subtly done that it can't help but move you.

Moonlight submitted by ccrose on August 14, 2019, 3:55pm I can see how easily this story could have gone off the tracks, feeding the audience the stereotypes that many people imagine if they have never known someone who is something different than heterosexual. It was beautiful and believable. The camera shots amazed me, visually showing us the character’s confusion.

Moonlight submitted by Varshini on August 21, 2019, 9:49pm Beautiful movie. Definitely for more mature audiences, but very important. Well-done film in general.
