Moonlight - Powerful. La La Land you are down to #2 spot!

Screener courtesy of Jack Sparrow. Was really eager to watch this cause all the highly reputable critics (I don't mean the youtube kind) waxing lyrical poem of this freaking amazing film. It's not a misery porn or brokeback mountain clone, it's so much more than that. The formula is like Boyhood but with a proper story behind it and jaw dropping performances packaged with great cinematography. In many ways it's a coming of age archetype, but exploring topics we have seldom seen portrayed in a film before. Mahershala Ali brief appearance just cemented his ascension to the serious actor A-list club and a heartbreaking performance by Naomie Harris that question your faith in hope at all. The journey of seeing how the boy becoming the man is beautifully structured and powerfully realized. It's like watching a new auteur reinventing a wheel who just not nailed the journey payoff, but a destination that's worth the effort to reach.
