Synopsis

In Miami, young Chiron struggles with school bullies and an abusive mother, finding a father figure in drug dealer Juan. As he also begins to explore his sexuality, Chiron grows into his teenage years and becomes a more resilient adult—but the experiences of his childhood may never truly leave him.

Our take

Earning no less than three Academy Awards® (including Best Picture) in 2017, this meditative look at Black masculinity is a work of pure poetry. Barry Jenkins tackles the burdens of unspoken intimacy with gentle maturity, approaching his strong, sensitive characters with compassion and grace.
