A good movie

“Since I really loved ‘Moonlight’, I was really eager to watch Barry Jenkins’s directing follow-up, especially since it also had received some stellar reviews. Well, maybe my expectations were too high but, even though I really did appreciate the whole thing, to be honest, I never really impressed me though.

Mid-Year Oscars Predictions - 2018 Movies (10 movies items)

"Reasons for Prediction: Barry Jenkins has a short resume but is overwhelmingly loved. Based on a critically loved book, topic still applies to today's societal race issues. It seems like a shoe-in. Results: NOT Nominated for Best Picture ONE Win Supporting Actress (Regina King) TWO Additional Nominations: Original Score (Nicholas Britell) Adapted Screenplay (Barry Jenkins) "
