Moonlight had the potential to be a truly great film, but it falls flat. I'm not sure why people loved this. Nothing really happens in this film, plot-wise or action-wise. It's a lot of talking and standing around. This movie could have raised some interesting questions about humanity, the human brain, and what makes us who we are. Every time the movie tries to get this idea going, they cut to another scene, and kill any momentum that it was building up. Even though there was one definitive main character in Moonlight, we don't find out much about him. The character is nowhere as developed as he should be, and it's hard to care about him, when we don't get to know him. This movie is boring, and I am not sure why this won Best Picture at the Oscars.
