Moon Manor

Moon Manor is a warm, touching look at a life well-lived and one man's choice to end it with a grin. The fact that it's based on the life of its lead actor gives it a special, haunting resonance that stayed with me long after the final credits. A must-see!

James 'Jimmy' Carrozo might have started his film career later than others, but he reminds me of Willem Dafoe but I am so glad he took on the role instead. I hope to see him in more soon too.

Info-10396 provided a great review as well, so take time to read it.

Produced by Machete Bang Bang and edited as well.

The Directors, Machete Bang Bang and Erin Granatwho also wrote the story did a great job and the cinematography, by Jacob Bojsza, music, special effects, Artwork and more are all first class.

I am tempted to list all of the cast but I don't want to play favorites there. Everyone brought something to the table to make it a better film.

Well worth seeing. Even if you are young now just to give you something to think about later.

Great story, great characters and a wonderful combination of funny, creepy, heartfelt and sad. I kind of wish I could bake the casting director a big plate of their favorite cookies I enjoyed the actors so much. Congrats to James Carrozo for doing such an excellent job in his first big movie role. I'm hoping to see him in many more! And Debra Wilson can just full up a screen with her personality. No bad actors in this one. Beautiful filming, some amazing shots. There are so many poignant themes in this movie: living with aids, losing a life partner, dying with dignity, alternative spirituality, etc, etc. I definitely recommend it.

Again it's sad when we get old with sickness and flashback old times is what try to demonstrate here. I would say it's real life situation and people when some ages must echo this.

Moon Manor is an endearing look at end-of-life issues and care and contributes to a timely conversation around the death positive movement and doing death your way. The characters are fresh and endearing. The life review as offered through the journalist, and the family dynamics at play, give us depth to understanding Jimmy's life and how this impacts his personal choices around death and dying. The community support for Jimmy's FUN-eral and honoring him are truly heartwarming. This film leaves you never wanting to forget these characters and feeling that you too have been witness to Jimmy dying on his own terms.
