Moonlight submitted by a2sue on July 18, 2017, 11:26pm Moonlight received a well-deserved Oscar for best picture!

Wow!! submitted by bookher on July 24, 2017, 3:29pm Extremely unique and wonderful movie! I loved the ending though there were parts in the beginning and middle I had to fast forward through. Be warned...there is some serious violence in this movie. Absolutely loved the ending! Just beautiful.

Beautiful! submitted by Xris on July 6, 2018, 5:47pm The story drew me in and had me riveted the whole time. I cared about the characters.

Glad it was Best Picture. submitted by lisa on August 16, 2018, 12:51pm It was the best picture.

Poetic and touching submitted by meganta on December 17, 2018, 11:43pm This is the kind of movie that stays with you after you're done watching it. I'm still not sure why but it left an impression on me. And I'd like to say, the color palette in this film is exquisite, it perfectly plays to that Miami vibe.

Moonlight submitted by Varshini on August 21, 2019, 9:48pm This is a high-quality film. Moonlight does have some disturbing scenes, but it tells a very important story. Great movie overall, but the ending was kind of abrupt.
