Such an excellent film

Chiron being single made perfect sense to me.

He did not like women AT ALL. Not in a sexual way. So how could he be with a guy if what we saw is Chiron getting his ass kicked throughout his childhood, being called a 'faggot', and then when he is a teenager and he finally finds someone who seems to be like him....only to get his arse kicked again, but this time in a brutal way?....Well, it's quite obvious that to survive he would have to hide away the real Chiron and just become 'Black', a tough black dude, a drug dealer/pusher, someone who people would be scared to mess with. Moving to Atlanta gave him that opportunity to have that new identity, even though he was not really being himself, because the real Chiron was a 'softie', a boy who craved love and a 'normal life'.

Ten years later, Kevin gets in contact with him and says 'sorry'. His mother also said 'sorry'. The film ending with Chiron on Kevin's shoulder, and then with the child Chiron, 'Little', under the moonlight looking back at us, the viewers, means that 'Black' is now dead, and he can start again.....he has found hope again, has got in touch with his real self again and he can let love in again. Maybe Kevin, maybe a new guy. No doubt Chiron will stop being a pusher and he will swim under the moonlight once more.

I disagree. Moonlight is a simple film with a simple story made with as much quality as any other Oscar contender.
All the characters were believable. Well maybe not Chiron's mother. In her introduction, she's wearing hospital scrubs as if she has a degree or certification and then a few scenes later, she is a strung out crackhead. That was the only part I felt was a little far fetched. Usually drug addicts succomb to some type of stressors so a little background about the mother would have improved the story in my opinion.

Otherwise, the film deserves all the critical praise it's gotten.
