Young African American Chiron is essentially a square peg trying to fit into a round hole, dealt a tough hand, a tough family life, he tries to fit in a world with set ideals and so called requirements, this film looks at three eras of his young life.
Personally I thoroughly enjoyed each of the three segments, however it was the second that hit hardest, an incredibly powerful, sad and moving sequence, but every single segment is poignant, moving and hard hitting.
It's pretty bleak, it does dwell on some of the darker aspects of human nature, those that prey on the vulnerable, those that by an outdated mindset don't fit.
The acting is A1, and I mean incredible, it doesn't get much better than this, the three incarnations if Chiron, Alex R Hibbert, Trevante Rhodes and Ashton Sanders are each marvellous. As always, Mahershala Ali and Naomie Harris are outstanding, I'd watch either in anything.
For me to stay up past ten o'clock these days is something, to stay up past midnight watching a movie, is pretty much a rarity now, I wanted to see what it was like, and got absorbed.
Excellent, 9/10.

No way La La Land even comes close to this movie. The movie plays like a slow and sad symphony that blossoms into something more beautiful.
