Moonlight
“What a powerful, unexpected film. Barry Jenkins’s drama is earning award season love thanks to its touching performances by Mahershala Ali and Naomie Harris, but it’s the three actors who play Chiron who deserve every trophy. Alex R. Hibbert, Ashton Sanders, and Trevante Rhodes play the character at different points in his life as he struggles to come to terms with his sexuality. It’s a raw movie, and it’s beautiful.” — Maggie Pehanick, editor, Entertainment
