Highly Overrated But Still Good
... View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreA good looking movie about a couple that feels so real that you can't help but look for signs to look for in your own relationships. Great cast portraying a patience-demanding story, but more realistic than any studio romance film you'll see this year.
... View MoreBest movie I have seen in a long time. I didn't know they could still make a movie like this in this decade. Gives me hope for our society. It's hard to say quite why this film is so good. It's not the kind of movie that's appropriate to analyze and pick apart. That would be missing the point of the nonspecific candor that makes it what it is. I know this movie has changed me. It reminds me that you can be real and authentic; even in your agonies and damage. It reminds you that the truth is beautiful, always, even when you can't and never will see it. Even mundane life is sad, and sad life is funny and filled with wonder. A movie of enormous heart and emotional color. All the performances are sublime. Lev and Frankie are heartbreakingly real. What a job by the director. I'll be watching this one again for the rest of my life.
... View More9 FULL MOONS is a really inventive film that is deeply personal and entertaining! As other reviewers mentioned, it focuses on a an unconventional portrayal of a female lead character's attempt to compensate for her loneliness by starting new relationships every new moon. I felt this really gave it a unique perspective that I had not seen before both in tone and story structure. It had a rawness that really stuck with me, making it me forget it was indie, or low-budget. It just didn't matter... 9 FULL MOONS is plain old good! NICE WORK!
... View MoreI've seen Amy Seimetz more and more these last two years, and I've become a pretty big fan. She's mesmerizing, she has a way to internalize everything that's happening to her and portray it effectively without any artifice or any pandering for obvious emotions. In that way, maybe she won't be an actress that will ever make it big (and I doubt she wants that) but for independent cinema, she's a revelation. She gives her characters so much to really portray effectively, she's a marvel to watch even when she's not saying anything (and that's really what she's best at). She's very great at her craft, and it's nice to know she's not just an actress. This film belongs to her, most definitely.
