Not sure why this was Best Picture - a film about a gay black drug dealer's coming of age in Miami. Bits were very poignant and well done, other parts seemed boring and over-long. I had a little doze now and then. I suspect that there were lots of significant details that I just missed; both the main character, Chirone, and his mentor Juan, had the
gold crown on the dashboard of their car - I had to look that one up.
Perhaps someone could explain why it's called Moonlight, too. I was clearly in a minority; everyone else who watched it with me was more touched by it than I was. I actually
preferred La La Land, which most people seem to have hated.
Watched in the Common House in Springfield from a version obtained by informal distribution.
