Moonlight (Drama - 2016)

About growing up black and gay in America. So you know, lighthearted fluff. But seriously, this movie is incredible. The final line of dialogue still haunts me months after seeing it. And the entire movie builds to that point - at three points throughout the life of our protagonist, Chiron (childhood, adolescence, and adulthood). Each part could be a fascinating film in itself, with gorgeous colors and impeccable acting. The sum of its parts brings us to an excellent character study that is strictly American.
