2nd Thursdays Cinema — ???????? — MOONLIGHT

MOONLIGHT

A young man deals with his dysfunctional home life and comes of age in Miami during the “War on Drugs” era. The story of his struggle to find himself is told across three defining chapters in his life as he experiences the ecstasy, pain, and beauty of falling in love while grappling with his own sexuality.

A.O. Scott of the New York Times says “Moonlight is both a disarmingly, at times almost unbearably personal film and an urgent social document, a hard look at American reality and a poem written in light, music and vivid human faces.”

The Guardian calls it a “devastating drama is vital portrait of black gay masculinity in America”.
