Sometimes, a movie just works from beginning to end and when you search for something, anything to criticize it starts coming down to "oh hey, I'd have liked more of this one thing." Such is Moonlight, the story of a young boy in Miami searching for his identity in three separate phases of his life. We first meet him around ten, called Little, as he's dealing with a mother sort of keeping it together as a nurse who also has a crack habit and also dealing with bullies chasing him from school. It's the sort of thing where you can tell this has been going on for a while and could be going on for quite a while more.
