While I thought that it was a fine effort for a first-time director and writer, I didn't think it merited
the overheated support that it has received.

But Hollywood loves its Black pain porn, and many Black artists/people like to be scratched behind the
ear by the Hollywood industry, feasting on white affirmation.

It had many of the contemporary-accepted Black pain porn tropes: tortured Black gay male, abusive drug using mother, neighborhood drug dealer with a heart of gold, hyper-masculine classroom tough.

It would have been nice to find out whether Chiron was a good or bad student in school,
but we really don't know because his "internal struggle" was the focus of the entire film. It's
all about his fight with "masculinity," but very little addressing his humanity.

I read a bunch of reviews that this was the most artful Black film ever shot. The winner and still champion in that category to me is "Belly."

Yet another award-seeking case of: "White people, you like me! You really, really like me!"

Belly is an artful movie

I knew the gays overhyped this movie. And Mahershala better have a ghost, if not how he win an award for this

I'm gonna find a neg for u. This movie is overrated as hell. How Mahershala win an award for this when he barely in the movie

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

One of those movies that you'll watch once and never again.
