The Light of the Moon

This felt more like an after school special in some ways than a movie. The acting was horrible or maybe it was the dialogue or maybe it was both. It does treat the topic in a way that I haven't seen in other movies.

The writing, acting, and cinematography were all excellent. Powerful story very realistically depicted. Highly recommend this film. I thought Stephanie Beatriz did a remarkable job. I always thought she was great in "Brooklyn Nine-nine, but she's even better here.

This was one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. Had no real expectations going into it, and was pretty floored by how authentic the whole film is. The film deals with a very common, painful scenario and it's one of the best films I have seen to deal with it in such a genuine, realistic way. The writing and dialogue is incredibly natural, and the film is helped by having two very strong, raw performances at its core. I had only seen Stephanie Beatriz in the always great, always consistent show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and here she gives a powerhouse of a dramatic performance. She's heartbreaking. Also powerful is Michael Stahl-David, who's equally as great at Beatriz in perfectly delivering the material in such an honest way. I strongly recommend this to anyone who hasn't seen it. Strong writing and acting make this a must-see.

Writer-director Jessica M. Thompson's gaze is both compassionate and unflinching-- a remarkable feat-- as she directs Stephanie Beatriz in a truly remarkable performance. The film tackles an unfortunately necessary topic at a necessary time. We need this movie and more filmmakers with Thompson's clear-eyed voice. Long takes and a naturalistic approach make her direction standout as well.

A movie of passion, occupational conflicts and real contradiction. As a real life drama it is very good. It reflects every corner of human life. A life full of uncontrollable emotions..A mind with ups and downs..A thought without proper destination. This type of dramas need a good submerging plot and this movie has got it surely.

It starts with the story of a female architect. Her successful carrier and her decorated life. But soon the life is doomed with her several conflicts..Conflicts regarding her work...her personal relations..her personal life...her struggles and frustations. All these makes it a complex form of daily life. The ultimate question arises about her survival against all odds..all these negativity of her life.

Those who likes to see action and thriller movies will find a little interest in it. But those who like to see dramas and also like to explore the human expressions and emotions will enjoy it. It has no mystery or high voltage special effect to entertain you. But it can make you really nostalgic. It can touch your mind and can produce emotional outburst from you.

Stephanie Beatriz has done well in the central role. I have never seen her before. But in this character she is quite well tolerable and her expressions, cry, dialogue delivery all make the film more attractive.

Most of our life are full of success and struggle. This movie is also such type. So in a nut shell it can be said that it is a movie of our life..It is a movie made for us....
