Not a review of Moonlight. Ha!

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2017)

This film was a lovely and delightful riff on classic Hollywood musical romances. Was it the best picture of the year? Of course not. But nobody walking into this movie cold - no reviews, no context - could not smile. My only complaint was that I wanted more of Gosling and Stone just talking. Not dancing. Not singing. Just bantering. Those were the moments when I was most charmed and amused...and they were a bit too few and far between.
