Tender play with subjects such as marginalization, sexual awakening and masculinity. The nice thing about 'Moonlight' (2016) is the poetic (almost nostalgic) visual language with which the Miami of the eighties is sketched as an unbelievably hard and warm place. Where the moonlight shines bright, but for a sensitive outsider, enough darkness remains to hide from rigid masculinity norms. Three separate actors play formative phases in the life of one African-American young man in search of his own sexual identity. His first experiences with rejection and learned self-loathing. His first vulnerable encounters with intimacy and camaraderie. It makes 'Moonlight' (2016) a lazily rippling social drama, in which just the right sledgehammer blows are dealt to portray the painful sadness of a coming out in an intolerant environment. But at the same time it is a hopeful film about human desires that cannot be suppressed by the harshness of others.
