USA/2016—directed by Barry Jenkins

Jenkins’s narrative spans the childhood, adolescence, and adulthood of a Black man who survives a drug-plagued Miami, finds love in unexpected places, and discovers the possibility of change within himself.

One of the great American films of this millennium, Moonlight offers a powerful sense of place, a wealth of richly conceived characters, and a feeling for the possibilities of cinematic storytelling that remind us how great movies can elevate the soul.

The brilliant ensemble cast includes André Holland, Trevante Rhodes, Naomie Harris, and Mahershala Ali. Winner of Academy Awards® for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor (Mahershala Ali), and Best Picture of the Year. (111 min.)

“It just needs to be watched and embraced, as an entirely fresh example of the power that great movies can exert on our lives.” —Peter Howell, Toronto Star
