Granite Rapids Moon

After seeing this movie, now I'm overwhelmed with melancholy and nostalgia. It effortlessly weaved together 4 differently tightly connected storylines that all payed off at the end in the best happy-sad way it could have. It created a space that now I need to go back to. It turned the Grand Canyon into a place I need to go to as soon as possible.

I can't stop thinking about all the implications of the climax. The twist reframed everything and changed my view of the characters. All the characters are so interesting and relatable, I wish I could see more of them. It's worth seeing again, I hope there's another showing near me soon!

There are two hooks in this film. First, the Canyon. For those of us who have experienced it from the rim only , it is a gorgeous tour of what is below. If only I were 50 years younger. This is the best view I've ever had. Second, central characters John and Elizabeth are grown ups. Responsible and in love...but still...the past is entwined in the lives of grown ups. The chemistry of women who feel love, doubt and trust for the men in their lives, and men who are ciphers to people outside the relationship are themes in many relationships. Adding the story to the locale makes it irresistible. Like My Octopus Teacher and CODA, I could watch this film again and again. Thank you to these Indie film makers.

This is an engaging movie, the storyline unfolds throughout with dramatic twists. It involves the effort of the main character to fulfill a goal he set much earlier in his life. The drama builds as he encounters hurdles along the way, both physical and emotional. The story is set and filmed primarily in the Grand Canyon, the scenery is spectacular and expertly filmed. I've visited the canyon from the rim but this story took me places I never saw. I did not anticipate the ending, but everything fell into place. The final scene helped explain the beginning. Highly, highly recommended, an absolute gem.

The first scripted movie shot in the floor of the Grand Canyon is breathtaking and thought provoking. This story of passionate hikers finding their way through loss and love keeps the audience captured and wanting more of their story. It's a journey of heartfelt wandering, combined with the beauty and excellence of nature. Even if you are not an avid hiker nor have ever been to the Grand Canyon, this story grabs you in emotionally. The beautiful backdrop of the majestic Grand Canyon helps you be in touch with the dedication of the characters and what they are seeking. Take this exquisite journey with the storytelling of Ken. You won't be disappointed. Very well done!

Such an engaging film that captivates the beauty & treachery of the Grand Canyon. The film takes you down the trail of life while hiking an actual trail in the Grand Canyon. An adventure about a lost love that needs closure and the undying strength of being in love & loved.

The cinematography captures the jaw-dropping beauty of the Grand Canyon and one man's quest to reach his destination while facing the perils of hiking in one of the natural wonders of the world. You also realize that even in the loneliest of places, one is never alone. One's memories can keep us from being alone. While watching the story unfold, it makes you realize we're always interconnected even in the most isolated places.
