The month of prestige films continues on Back to the Movies as we take a look at the Golden Globe winner and eight time 2017 academy award nominated film, Moonlight. The film has received almost universal acclaim and gained pretty notable attention from the academy. It tells the coming of age story of a gay black man growing up in Miami. It plays as an incredibly personal, yet universal tale from writer/director Barry Jenkins.
