So you wake up and find that Moonlight won the Oscar for Best Picture. Against La La Land. Against Manchester By The Sea. Against Hacksaw Ridge. OK...
"Moonlight" is not a bad movie, by no means. It has great moments, beautiful cinematography, interesting dialogue during the scenes and nice acting (although not amazing) - is nomination for Best Picture is acceptable. The problem is that this isn't an Academy Movie Winner. The main character lacks a more profound development, the "third scene" is close to nothing (it adds basically anything) and, at some point, we've seen this film before - just remember "Boyhood".
So, it's a nice movie, interesting, but pure and simply not good enough to conquer Oscars Night.
