“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…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Moonlightu0026quot; 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 isnu0026#39;t an Academy Movie Winner. The main character lacks a more profound development, the u0026quot;third sceneu0026quot; is close to nothing (it adds basically anything) and, at some point, weu0026#39;ve seen this film before – just remember u0026quot;Boyhoodu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, itu0026#39;s a nice movie, interesting, but pure and simply not good enough to conquer Oscars Night.”
