In this day of age, it's hard to see a film like Moonlight be released. It's a miracle to see a movie so true to the human mind and spirit of growing up. This is a presentation of pure struggle played out in three distinct acts. Not a beginning, middle and end. More of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. 110 minutes long to capture all of this heavy as hell material. It's a nightmare projected on screen with such nuance and symbolic realism. 2016 was a good year for film and whoever denies this needs to see this movie. It emotionally crushes me but lifts my spirit. One of the best films of the entire decade. Ranking 2016 movies is going to be tough, but I'm incredibly anxious to get to it. At some point, you gotta decide for yourself who you're going to be. Can't let nobody make that decision for you.
