Just finished watching the film and all I could do was stare at the screen in amazement as the credits rolled and this gorgeous piece of music played. What an experience.

Love how the song is in 3 parts, justl ike Chiron s life.

[DariusWarner]

I almost feel like we all have a younger Chiron inside of all of us. A little kid confused, crying and screaming for help with no one to answer only to come up with the answers himself and create sustainability the only way we know how. This movie speaks to me, this movie touched me in ways I really can't describe.

[Kate-huuz]

In the real world, as with this brilliant film, there is no such thing as a happy ending. There is only...life. It simply goes on. The world keeps turning, clocks keep ticking, and people continue struggling. This somber movie is at once beautiful, moving and sorrowful; illuminating the beauty, flaws and darkness found in all of humanity. It shines a light on homophobia, bullying and addiction, without being preachy, and I love that it's told from the perspective of a black male living in a black community (we need more films like that). This amazing score by Nicholas Britell, during the end credits, places all our tangled emotions in a musical blender, and delivers this haunting piece that underscores how fragile we all really are underneath our outer shell. Redemption and forgiveness aren't guaranteed, but they are always possible.

"you're the only man who have touched me"
wish i could said the same to my loved one, but you're the only one whose touch made me peace

[roberthurley]

One of the saddest films I have ever seen. The part from the jukebox scene to the ending literally takes your breath away.

[snowchild_]

Still one of the most moving pieces of my life. A climax yet so fragile, a culmination that feels like a wave going full force yet hitting a wall and crashing down but then smooth. So beautiful, not a single word said in those four minutes of music yet you understand everything. The fragility of it, a moment between two humans so tender and intimate you feel like an intruder watching.

[Middy]

This composer is something else! The music in the closing scene coupled with the story itself just brought me to tears!! This music is amazing

[sultanalamri]

i feel like Kevin and Chiron's interaction in the diner goes on for a while — too long, some might argue. But for a few surreal minutes it's nice to imagine that they might never get up and leave, that they'll just stay in that moment forever, smiling at each other and drinking wine out of cups. When the spell breaks, it shatters your heart.

[ProjectCristian]

this song makes me feel 3 emotions really, a new beginning or chapter, hardship and struggles, then the last one being lost or searching for who I am. All in chronological order... i feel so connected to this song for some reason. For everyone can relate to Chiron, he had haters bullies his own problems just like us. We all just want to be ourselves and find out who we are.

[j.pintolobao]

So smooth yet so powerful. So peaceful yet so magical. The song is the perfect ending to the introspection about the film's message. Fabulous when music is a palate of sounds that forces us to think.

[Tech-tonic]

Man everytime I hear this i obsess with it all over again, its just so beautiful.

[fuegovioleta]

i am in awe & in love with Moonlight

[peterainsworth]

I know how Chiron felt in some ways and I'm sure a lot of other lgbt people do too. To grow up gay in an anti gay culture. To be despised and ostracised for your nature, but then be shown some kindness by another while in that emotional desert, and always have feelings for them afterwards. Then, remake yourself and have to toughen up to the reality of where and when you were born, thinking you will never escape it. Maybe now he is with Kevin he'd be able to drop all that pretense and go back to his original nature. Gay people can only do that once they remove themselves from those horrible and evil worlds. I did.

[HoODBoy]

the soundtrack is as fragile as life itself

[yuliancoronado]

I love this soundtrack, I feel sad but it´s a relaxing feeling, I don´t know why....

[Commievn]

The most emotional scene for me is when Little taught to swim by Juan.

[splinter]

This track...it feels like something needs to be done. Now. And it can't wait. And if you don't do it you might regret it for the rest of your life.

Was not expecting all that happened throughout the movie, to me only seeing bits of it during award shows it looked like a kid who needed a father figure, then i watched and was like whoa and wow Chiron looked and stared the same at the diner as he did in the previous chapters, then this song come on, it was cool.

The opening piano ... is like as if heaven's gates have opened up!
