Moonlight: Absolutely stunning From the excellent storyline to some of the best acting I've ever seen, this film defies sterotypes and if this film doesn't evoke empathy and understanding in the viewer on complex issues, I don't know what will. The plot takes us through different phases of a person's life, from childhood through young adulthood through to adulthood. It shows the obstacles and challenges he is faced with and works to overcome, in a cold, uncaring home and community environment. (movies)
