On Metacritic, the film holds a score of 97 out of 100, based on 18 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter positively reviewed Moonlight after its premiere at the 2016 Telluride Film Festival. He praised the performance of the cast and the cinematography of James Laxton as "fluid and seductive, deceptively mellow, and shot with shearing compassion." Rooney concluded by writing that Moonlight "will strike plangent chords for anyone who has ever struggled with identity, or to find connections in a lonely world."[13] In a unanimously positive review for Time Out New York, Joshua Rothkopf gave Moonlight a full five stars out of five, praising Barry Jenkins' direction and hailing the film as "without a doubt, the reason we go to the movies: to understand, to come closer, to ache, hopefully with another."
Brian Formo of Collider.com gave Moonlight a 'B' grade rating, applauding the performances and direction but contending that the film "is more personal and important than it is great."Similarly, Jake Cole of Slant Magazine praised the acting, but criticized the screenplay and argued that "so much of the film feels old-hat." In a review for The Verge, Tasha Robinson lamented the plot details omitted between the film's three acts, but wrote that "what does make it to the screen is unforgettable."
While discussing the film after its screening at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times described Moonlight as "achingly romantic and uncommonly wise", opining the film to be an early Oscar contender. Chang further writes: "[Barry Jenkins] made a film that urges the viewer to look past Chiron’s outward appearance and his superficial signifiers of identity, climbing inside familiar stereotypes in order to quietly dismantle them from within... [Moonlight] doesn't say much. It says everything."
