Journey Film Club at Birmingham LGBT
Another chance to catch Barry Jenkin’s universally acclaimed drama Moonlight, a powerhouse film of identity and sexuality that resonates with a heavy piquancy in these intolerant times. The ensemble cast is nothing short of astonishing with Trevante Rhodes’ performance as a gay black man adrift in an unaccepting culture being the highlight.
