I like how well they compliment each other. Trevante is more playful and physically expressive. and Andre is very verbal and good with his words...they look awesome together.

please, his teeth have been like that since he was a kid as you can see from his yearbook picture. brush more and maybe invest in some braces and you too can get the trevante look.

[@KevinETaylor]

I have seen this movie 19 TIMES and I STILL CRY. Andre is right in that the last moment of the film, with their hug, FEELS LIKE THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING! I know that a LOT of people were pissed that we didn't get to WITNESS their "union" sexually BUT they both suffered through SO MUCH that it is BEAUTIFUL that they finally get the PRIVATE SPACE TO LIVE A PUBLIC LOVE! They deserved for us to not peer into their lives after peering into their souls. I wanted to see a kiss but I FELT TENDERNESS and kisses can happen without tenderness but tenderness isn't in the touch. THIS IS A MASTERPIECE OF A MOVIE and I am so thankful to be ALIVE for MOONLIGHT! *dang it...I am crying AGAIN!

[@dolly-gq9lr]

Kevin E. There was no need for a sex scenes. Andre's bedroom room eyes did all the talking. Ending it with a hug was so much more poignant and intimate.

[@TatoufalMzungu]

Yeah, that's really a masterpiece.. Can't stop thinking about that story, about Shiron and Kev...

[@shariffbrown04]

Beautiful!!!! ❤️

[@54johndavis]

I've seen this movie three times. I want to see it again.

[@cliffbunsam]

Same here. And with every viewing I am more amazed and astonished with the brilliance of the film.

[@MillieMaa]

I've seen it 2x. will probably see it at least 2 more....

[@54johndavis]

I saw tonight for the 4th time. This movie is a gift that keeps on giving. I enjoy taking different friends to see it and enjoy the conversations that the movie stimulates. I learned a lot each viewing about how it is put together.

[@lynnw2953]

trevante so fahn, lord geezus.

[@cinthia3242]

Seconded. He's hot as hell, not to mention a fantastic actor. Both Trevante and Andre gave wonderful performances. One of my favorite scenes is when his friend Kevin calls him after several years. Now, up to that point, I was thinking where is the Chiron from parts 1 and 2 in this new person? And then he picks up the phone and you can actually see him becoming young Chiron again. His performance was simply amazing. This film touched me so much I'll have to get it on dvd when it comes out.

[@JamaicanFlava]

Yeah especially when they met in the diner you could see the young Chiron in him...

[@ndo533]

Freesia Blue Andre was impeccably sexy playing that role. he was busting out all the moves!

[@deebeautiful84]

Rudy C yesss

[@deasmiles]

No one is taking your bait troll.

[@kathleenbergeron1292]

...and Trevante's use of expression alone without words in the scene in the car...wow!

[@blksag74]

It made the viewer really get into him to try and understand what was going through his mind ... he was such a withdrawn character which was the beauty of it.

[@CCColon-lv6xh]

I LIVE for their chemistry in this interview. So genuine! I hope both of them gets the shine they deserve!

[@princess17257]

oww that's a good idea! @Terry Cox I would love a series!

[@blksag74]

The chemistry between Trevante and Andre during their diner/car/apt scene made you want SO MUCH MOREEEE from them . I wished the movie was longer just to see where their story went... it was a beautiful love story that came across very authentic with as little words as possible. The way both actors spoke to each other without words was MAGIC... the EYES NEVER LIE. I truly wanted them to be together , Kevin is the only one that truly knew and understood WHO Chiron was and vice versa.

[@PHocalPoint2]

It does something to me to watch an interview like this, and it include articulate Black men like TreVante and Andre. These two thoroughly understood the roles they each played in this film, and truly know the contributions they made to not only this film, but to the Black community as a whole.

[@dolly-gq9lr]

Everyone goes on about Trevante, but Andre is gorgeous in a more understated way.

[@ellcally508]

And sexy.

[@EscargoTouChaud]

They are beautiful. Trevante is cute beautiful, and Andre is refined beautiful.

[@jwalt8019]

A more of a classic handsome, if that makes any sense. They are both beautiful mean.

[@Andyontherocks]

I cant believe its been 5 years since Moonlight came out. I loved this movie so much and have watched it numerous times over the last few years and I always notice something new every time I watch it. I know Mr Ali won the individual Oscar but I felt that winning Best Movie was a tribute to every body who was in the movie. The whole cast were amazing. The scene with these two in the Diner at the end of the movie was just mesmerising. The whole movie hit me hard but that scene just made me crumble!

[@mjkng2000]

Honestlyyyyyy

[@lcapitan8286]

I was just thinking this!

[@hyucklee5577]

it is so interesting to see the difference in them (and also how each actor actually suits the opposite character the most), whilst andre is more mellow and relaxed, body completely unmoving, trevante is energetic, louder than andre, uses his hands and body to speak, dramatic and shows a different kind of engagement than andre. he also has a brilliant smile on his face the entire time which makes him more inviting and friendly.

[@brynedney]

Both amazing actors and awesomely handsome men

[@selena___]

Love Andre Holland. Thanks for this interview

[@bhuiwriter3350]

I love everything about the energy that exists beween these two. They complement each other so well. I feel like this movie allowed them to find clarity in their own personal growth as men and being able to tap into your emotional side and care for another man rather ita a friendship, relationship, family member. In 2023 men aren't able to comfortably show emotions towards other men AT ALL without a negative connotation. As of 2023, I've only seen it once. I think its time to revisit and see what this jewel does for me 2nd go round

[@1967sfoman]

[@jermainejr11]

I love. love. love what he said about the reboot/rejuvenation of one's "real" life - getting that second chance/living authentically and honestly. Man, if that wasn't powerful, I don't know what is. He is going to be making more strides in his career. Go ANDRE!

[@zydajacrawford9958]

one of the best interviews I ever seen made me understand the movie even more.

[@sushmakc7570]

Trevante's smile could get me through anything!

[@ariannadhaarmik1864]

Andre is chill compared to his Kevin's character and that's what makes him more attractive 💓💓they are both opposite of their movie characters not to mention how Andre looks at Trevante🥺💓

"Turning little moments into huge transitions"...that is exactly right. I really felt those visceral emotions in their body language - just amazing performances. I have to keep editing my comments to add praise... "You can lie with your mouth" Brilliant. I am speaking we will see more of these performers ...yaaaaassss!

[@boomerang905]

Lord if l had been young and in Hollywood... Trevante would not be safe. 💝 One of the most gorgeous young men on the planet and Andre is quite handsome too. Not taking anything away from their brilliance. Thanks for sharing.

[@ablklfsvr4u1]

You guys made a huge changes and you are big now as far as I am concern. Excellent job.

[@MrBarksdale149]

This movie is deep, it's sad the story is missed by so many comments I've read on here. most people lost in lust forget they portray what it's like to be black male and gay I can say it's vary lonely angry and at time makes you full of rage enough of the cute comments yaw.

[@ryanwatson3278]

so truly said its how i feel about it

[@cindyewyatt]

I didn’t miss the sadness of the story or the film but the beauty and energy of Trevante Rhodes out of the character is so powerful that it is hard not to be drawn to him. What a joy he, Trevante, is. That neither makes Chiron less sad nor without joy.

[@johnnyd.5466]

I knew these actors were amazing watching the film. I can tell they're amazing people.

[@curtbarnes4294]

Trevante in the film blew me away, reminded me of the young Brando. The big physique + vulnerability. Small gestures that pull you in, visible pain. Much less screen time than Casey Affleck in "Manchester" but more powerful work, he shoulda at least been nominated. Not to mention cinematography, set design (the blues!). We as a white couple saw this and weren't even aware there were no white actors in the film until someone pointed it out. What "universal" means, maybe.

[@EscargoTouChaud]

Great interview! When Kevin confronted Chiron, I felt a lot of things. It was maybe needed, but it was also brutal. And I know Kevin did it out of affinity and respect (hence some kind of disappointment with the gold tooth thing and tough appearance), but my heart hurt for Chiron. I think that when Chiron confessed to him that their moment had been his only moment, Kevin got surprised and perhaps understood just how hard it had been for Chiron, and the "tough big brother" role melted away to be replaced by pure empathy and humanity. Such a beautiful thing when this transition comes! It restores everything.

[@CarrotFlowers421]

I could watch and listen to these two forever. A very different movie that's a romance between two men, I Love You Phillip Morris, is also great to watch interviews about. Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor are very confident straight guys but also went about their roles with a focus on storytelling and real human emotion, never worrying about anything else. Takes a lot if confidence.

[@ryanwatson3278]

i waited so long to see this move and at first i was a little offish but as i watched i could see myself. growing up as a black man is hard enough but as a gay black kid trying to find yourself and your identy its hard but when you find out who your are as a person things start to change and you find that when you go through something and you work so hard at just being comfortable within yourself its amazing . i am so glad that i watched it and loved it.

You could say the same about his nails or watch. The reality is that yes, he has very white teeth, probably with some whitening process, but the main effect is the camera exposure trying to compensate his dark skin makes them even brighter.

I gotta say it wrecked me, took me to places i didnt expect i would relate to but found out i am so much like him resulting in the same kinda person he turned out to be. when he said in this interview many ppl would find one or two universal things to relate to in this film is what i expected, turned out there was a lot more. This film is similiar to "Latter days" (movie) in the way it makes you feel but coming from a different reality. I hope this all comes as high praise cuz you guys deserve it. P.S. I dont know how that magic happens but All 3 of the actors playing him were him, i never for a moment thought otherwise.

This movie was so thoughtful & emotional because it showed the LGBTQ perspective from a African American aspect. I get so emotional every time that I see it. This movie should've been done many years ago but I honestly don't think that the world was actually ready for it. Just like they said in this interview, this content is very taboo & it's shied away from & isn't confronted because most African Americans choose not to be open about themselves from this point of view. Barry Jenkins & this cast was phenomenal. Everyone brought something different & it all meshed well. I remember when I watched it for the first time & I couldn't put all my emotions into words because I myself have dealt with a lot of the issues that Chiron & Kevin went through and I was seeing it being played out right before me. Mahershala's character in this movie was that mentor & makeshift guardian to Chiron & he loved him as if he was his father which is what a lot of black kids are missing growing up to have that father figure in their lives to help guide them & love them, especially the kids that are discovering who they are & why they feel different from the status quo when really we all seek love in some form of fashion. I've dealt with a few guys who don't know how to open up & express themselves so that the weight that's overwhelming is lifted & they could live in a space where that freedom to be themselves eases up. The African American community as a whole needs to focus more on love & not so much on who the next person is sleeping with because at the end of the day, it's no one's business but the two that's involved with each other. This movie "Moonlight" 🌙 will forever go down in History & also as one of my favorite movies 🎥🎬 since being able to comprehend for being able to shed a spotlight on another reason to call my race of people in a unique & excitingly complicated way.
