Moonlight - Recensioner

Dramatic film has long been fascinatedwith issues of identity, but they’ve rarely been explored with the degree ofeloquence and heartbreaking beauty as in Barry Jenkins’ masterful “Moonlight,”...

…is gorgeous and yet bleak, uplifting and yet sobering, exhilarating but also grounded in some unshakable realities.

…a true American masterpiece and one of the best films of the decade.

The beauty of Moonlight is that it makes everything not only feel keenly relevant, but also somehow beautiful.

...an astonishingly accomplished work – rich, sensuous and tactile, by turns heartbreaking and uplifting.

…a significant work that will knock you out.

...a deeply personal film about male identity in the sun-drenched hell of the Dade County housing projects, circa the 1980s.

Barry Jenkins’ low-key examination of black life in America is an aching romance of the very highest order.

…a graceful, compassionate coming-of-age heartbreaker.

Knappt någon amerikansk film har behandlat svarta karaktärer med en sådan poetisk vardaglighet…

Der er en på en gang socialrealistisk og lyrisk film, der igennem fortællingen om et unikt individ rammer alment gyldige sandheder for alle i biografsalen

…fruktansvärt vackert, skört, smärtsamt och personligt berättat.

...om at finde ind, langt ind i sjælen, hvor følelser som ensomhed og kærlighed er lige påtrængende på tværs af race, køn og politik.
