Barry Jenkins’s exquisite second film is a three-part story about a boy growing up black and gay in Miami, based on an unproduced play by Tarell Alvin

McCraney. The cast are a mix of newcomers and familiar faces, and the tale they tell will hold you and then floor you, like a slow-motion judo throw. An unmissable and genuinely history-making film – both for its story and Oscar win, that birthed the infamous La La Land stage moment.
