I saw this at TIFF back in September, think NA premiere, was one of my favourite films of the festival, really well done. I'd highly recommend to anyone who I didn't have reason to think would walk out on it lol.

I watched Moonlight again a little while ago and sort of feel that they make pretty solid companion pieces, a lot of the promotion for Portrait has involved the director discussing it as being about the 'female gaze' and desire and waiting, and I feel Moonlight in that romantic sense is about the same thing between two different characters, while having two separate backdrops concerning race or gender respectively.
