Rating: 10/10
Told in three parts, the story of a bullied boy ('Little") growing up
with a lack of love and guidance in the slums of Miami, his life as an
isolated, beleaguered teenager ("Chiron") and finally his persona and
relationships as a man ("Black" ).
Script, directing, acting, cinematography, music were all outstanding.
The acting will blow you away.
The themes at play have rarely been given such a realistic rendering.
You feel as if you are watching a real boy cope with the strange
unfairness he finds at every turn. And you are grateful for the
occasional kindnesses he receives. The audience I was with at Telluride
LOVED it. I feel it is a masterpiece.
