“Moonlight” (*** out of four) was a powerful story of a young homosexual African-American growing up in poverty in Miami with no positive role models and film chronicles his struggles in three segments from childhood to adolescence and adulthood as he questions his identity in life. Not a great film as many have said (it was the second film to win Best Picture this year at the Oscars) but very well-acted and features many effective moments. Riveting first segment works best but story in high school covers familiar territory and third segment meanders. Mahershala Ali is terrific in an Oscar-winning supporting role but he disappears from the story too quickly and you may leave wishing more of the movie was about him.
