What is Moonlight about?
Three chapters follow a boy in Miami as he grows into a man while negotiating masculinity, desire and the need to be seen.
Why watch Moonlight?
Jenkins gives tenderness the scale of an epic. Colour, music and three remarkable performances build a life from moments when language fails but recognition remains possible.
