An Oscar worthy movie? Not. There's nothing outstanding in it. Dialog is ordinary. Story is dumb. Visually it's dark all the way through. There are no costumes. Music is not good. Acting is ordinary. Overall it's dull. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen and it never did. Bleh.

An Oscar winner? Not. It was choppy. The appearance of the actor growing up didn't keep with his features at all. The guy as an adolescent didn't even look like he was still an American. And they didn't finish the story. The guy turned drug dealer after hating that his mom was an addict doesn't fit. He hooks up with the guy who has a healthy way of life and all they do is have sex? He could have taught him how to cook or something else that would be healing for his life. I feel cheated.

Nothing about the trailer led me to expect it to be about homosexuality. Being the Juneteenth holiday, I thought it was going to be about something historical or related to the black cultural experience. I generally avoid movies that feature homosexuality. This was tastefully done but not my cup of tea.

Because there are so many garbage movies currently playing I took a chance on this one. Hey, it won Best Picture. It has to be good, right?
Wrong. Slow, boring, gratuitously far fetched (come on, who questions a 6 yr old on his sexuality? No one!) bad acting - this turkey has it all. REALLY BAD.
The Academy gave this Best Picture if only because they felt they had no choice but to pick a movie, any movie, having mostly black actors in it. Mission accomplished.
Unless you are hopelessly sympathetic to all things gay (I am not; I could care less) AVOID AT ALL COST!
For those who gave this dog 5 stars ( or more than 1) - grow up.Its no one's fault you were born confused. But misrepresenting this as 5 star is wrong on so many levels. Shame on you.

Coming of age is even harder when you are gay, black and your mom is a crack addict, but Chiron finds unlikely help in Liberty City i the 90's, Miami's toughest section.Wonderful acting and sensitive in its look at homosexuality where it is least tolerated.

I liked the brilliance of the director's creation of intimacy. I loved the characters. I loved the castin and acting. Th only thing I had rouble with was bwlieving thaqt the last actor in the grown-up phase of the protagonoist's life was the same physical person as the younger actor's in the boy's earlier life. You just have to foret the physical differences. I think one of the greatest scenes was the young man and his mother,her honesty in acknowledging her neglect of him. this was a compassionate andf intimate movie with great character portrayals and emtional depth..
