MOONLIGHT


MOONLIGHT:   The winner of this year's Academy Award, this is a groundbreaking film to be treasured for it's extraordinary ensemble cast and the Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner, Mahershala Ali.  A look at what shaped and molded a young black gay man growing up in a poor suburb of Miami, I suppose this falls into the "coming of age" category.  Divided into three parts with our hero as a child, a teenager and an adult. it certainly holds your attention.  That being said, I am not sure I agree with the Academy on this one. "La La Land" and "Hacksaw Ridge" would have been better choices in my book.  Don't get me wrong, this is a fine film and was certainly worthy of the nomination and your attention.  But, after all the hype I was a bit disappointed.
