Powerful yet sensitive, Moonlight (2016) is a unique coming-of-age story that portrays a man's conflict with identity, sexuality, loneliness, and self-discovery. This three-part drama follows the story of Chiron, a young boy growing up in Miami under arduous circumstances including bullying, violence, drug addiction and poverty. As he becomes older, other characters come in and out of his life, and it is through these interactions that we see Chiron begin to develop his own understanding of a world that is both harsh and beautiful–exhilarating and terrifying–and callously indifferent.


Through deliberate choices in score and cinematography, we are fully immersed in this world. Barry Jenkins' (screenplay/directing) and Tarell Alvin McCraney's (playwright) beautiful, intimate story brought us together in a way we haven't seen a film do in a long time. Join Jaime, Patrick, and Dan as we discuss this artistic masterpiece.
