"At some point, you gotta decide for yourself who you gonna be. Can't let nobody make that decision for you"
It was undoubtedly one of the finest examples of LGBTQ representation. The writing is excellent, the storytelling is even better! And then the visuals exude an indescribable tranquillity that I wholeheartedly cherish.
This film feels like it was crafted with immense care and passion. It feels as though it is being brought to life from someone's personal memories, feels incredibly personal, and I absolutely adored that. Despite revolving around sexuality and self-exploration, it never takes the provocative route. It remains sincere and sympathetic in its approach, which deserves some admiration.
My only complaint lies with the third chapter, titled 'Black'. It is where the intensity seems to die down. I loved the first two chapters, relating to the young child and teenage boy. I was able to empathize with their pain and rooted for their triumphs. However, in the last chapter, that connection suddenly fades away, as I couldn't get behind adult Chiron. I truly wish I could have!
