The Playlist - Gregory Ellwood
Like Brokeback Mountain a decade ago, Moonlight is a piece of art that will transform lives long after it leaves theaters.

The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
Barry Jenkins' Moonlight pulls you into its introspective protagonist's world from the start and transfixes throughout as it observes, with uncommon poignancy and emotional perceptiveness, his roughly two-decade path to find a definitive answer to the question, "Who am I?"

IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Moonlight transforms rage and frustration into unadulterated intimacy. In this mesmerizing portrait of a suffocating world, the only potential catharsis lies in acknowledging it as Chiron so deeply wishes he could. Despite the somber tone, Moonlight is a beacon of hope for the prospects of speaking up.

Variety - Peter Debruge
A socially conscious work of art as essential as it is insightful.

Screen International - Tim Grierson
Ambitious in scope but precise in its execution, this deceptively small-scale character piece reverberates with compassion and insight.
