Las caras de la luna

A group of actresses is invited to be a jury during a film festival in Mexico. In the meanwhile, their story is told, with their past, their present work and their plans for the future. The actresses are all great, making a mix of nationalities, ages and personalities. A film about woman, without compromises with feminism or any other ideologies that we heard for the last 30 years.

The Faces of the Moon is about a group of female filmmakers participating in a jury for an all women film festival.

This is one of those movies where the actors carried the film.

Ana Torrent (Maruja)and Claudette Malle (Annette) did well with what little they had to work with.

And there is an off the wall performance by Geraldine Chaplin.

The theme of the film is sisterhood which doesn't get fully explored.

However with a couple of characters it wasn't clear who they are and what was their role or purpose in the film?

I had the impression the characters would have equal time to express themselves and learn their stories. I was wrong.

One character (played by Carola Reyna) had more of a backstory and a few unnecessary flashbacks. She was main focus of the film.

Overall, it's not a perfect film but it is good.
