Moonlight

Adapted from an unfinished play from playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, this tender drama from writer-director Barry Jenkins follows three crucial chapters in the life of Chiron, a young Black man growing up in Miami, as he grapples with understanding his place in the world and his sexuality.
