"Moonlight," the Academy Award winner for Best Picture in 2017, which was written and directed by FSU Film School alum Barry Jenkins, has been named Best Movie of the Decade by the website IndieWire.

"This sprawling look at romantic desire and the emotional hardships of the African-American experience folds its fixations into a profound creative tapestry," wrote Indiewire reviewer Eric Kohn. "On one level, it’s a deep tragedy told in passing glances. At the same time, it’s a rallying call that broadens the potential for black artistry to permeate popular culture in fresh ways."

The film industry website posted its Top 100 movies of the 2010s last week. The list is a mix of big budget Hollywood movies, like “The Great Gatsby” (No. 98), “A Star Is Born” (No. 75), “Get Out” (No. 21) and “The Wolf of Wall Street” (No. 11) and smaller films you probably aren't familiar with unless you frequent the Tallahassee Film Society's screenings.

“La La Land,” the movie musical that was mistakenly announced as the Best Picture winner before a hasty correction, was ranked at No. 73.

Jenkins now also has bragging rights about out-doing a "Star Wars" movie ("The Last Jedi,” No. 74), a "Mission Impossible" blockbuster ("Fallout,” No. 64) and one of the most popular superhero movies ever made ("Black Panther," No. 60).

"Moonlight" wasn't the only movie on the list with a Tallahassee connection. “Beasts of the Southern Wild," which was written by Lucy Alibar, who grew up on a farm near Monticello and graduated from Lincoln High School, was ranked No. 84.

"A dazzling ode to resilience and self-reliance that pops off the screen like a fireworks display, Benh Zeitlin’s 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' is grand in scope, and mind-bogglingly ambitious for a debut film shot on a modest budget," wrote reviewer Tambay Obenson.
