    Moonlight 2016

    ★★★★★ Watched 20 Nov, 2016

    So I loved this and it blew me away, containing so much in unsaid moments, in contrasts, in bursts of energy, just a supremely designed, fantastic film in every way BUT there was a group of Intellectuals who left the theatre ahead of me who were talking about how Chiron just, like, couldn't possibly be gay because that makes no sense and I really hate them

    Ain't nothin' like jumping on a bandwagon, right kids?

    "If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die historic on the fury road."

    You all were right. I was wrong. I was going to wait until this came out on Blu-Ray to watch, thinking "I'm not really an action guy, and a two-hour car chase seems vastly uninteresting." You all told me off - rightly - and gave me the push to go see this. And holy SHIT I am glad you…
