Moonlight reviews – "devastating drama is vital portrait of black gay masculinity"

[StraxStrax]

I made this thread in the Film Room but I wanted the TLR take on this

Variety:

Barry Jenkins' vital portrait of a South Florida youth revisits the character at three stages in his life, offering rich insights into the contemporary African-American experience.

TheWrap:

Jenkins and McCraney have artfully cobbled together something that is impressionistic and wondrous, like a compendium of half-remembered memories, tinged by sadness.

Guardian:

A rarely seen portrait of what it really means to be a black gay man in America today. It's a stunning achievement.

The Playlist:

There have simply not been enough films about the gay experience of African-Americans or other people of color for that matter. Is is not hyperbole to note Barry Jenkins' magnificent new drama "Moonlight" is a historic achievement in this regard.

THR

Glows like its title.

 

[Koba St]

Expect tons of awards, oscars, publicity blitz, wenches and c00ns loving and promoting the shyt out of it, etc etc. We all know the drill by now.

 

[TRY GOD]

fukk this fakkit nikka shyt.

 

[Okocha]

Stop with this gay stuff, its too much. The agenda is real.

 

[PhonZhi]

They hitting us from SO many different angles

 

[GilSho]

There is no such thing as a gay agenda. Gay men will always be gay, straight men will always be straight.

This will be black gay men's Brokeback Mountain, that's their targeted demographic not straight BM. Hopefully it leads to more gay BM coming out the closet instead of remaining DL purely out of fear.

 

[Supreme HD]

Absolutely purely demonic. Not going to watch the filth that aims to remove a black mans musicality. I and we are black men. We are strong, prideful and are proud of our masculinity. fukk all these cac and bedwench feminists who talk that toxic masculinity nonsense. Testosterone makes a man. What about toxic femininity that lies and gets black men in trouble even when there wad consensual sex, women being favoured in courts etc. fukk off. Also if any woman comes at me with force she's getting knocked out. Equal rights , equal blows. If u bedwenches don't like that shyt then get your c00n ass in the kitchen and me and other black kings fukking sandwiches. fukk this agenda and fukk young thug and any fakkit rapper thats promoting demonic gay filth in our communities. God don't like this shyt and when judgement day comes this world is fukked. America is modern day
Sodom and gommorah and babylon.

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

It's almost as if TLR want Black men to stay in the closet on the down low

This film is a non-issue. Few of us will watch it but Black gay men will like it. The end.

This 'agenda' conspiracy is from a masculine insecurity regarding the status of the Black man in White supremacist Amerikkka

Pure ignorance. Jesus was a black man. The scriptures tell it so. A black man with wooly hair

Keep believing in the hotep spin on Jewish-cac fairy tales

 

[blackgentlemenvoice]

It aimed at black gay men and people who have open minds, especially cause they never seen this representation of masculine men before . So they're intrigued.

It pretty well shot and ok acting for an indie movie

 

[Matt504]

Can someone here define "masculinity"?
