In the Shadow of the Moon's reviews
Media reviews
Los Angeles Times
This is an appealingly polished thriller, with something modest but profound to say about how selfish choices can ripple across decades.
New York Times
The film is never less than engaging, and it?s just about always clever.
The Guardian
There?s a slicker, more coherent and ultimately more thematically audacious film to be made from the disparate elements that make up In the Shadow of the Moon but what we have is a lovable mess nonetheless. Its ambitions are easy to criticise but hard not to admire, a mad little movie with big ideas on its mind.
Roger Ebert
An odd film like this needs a charismatic anchor in its lead role to keep it from losing its human connection and Boyd Holbrook just can?t muster the energy to do that. It?s a strangely flat, unengaging performance that doesn't match the ambition of the overall piece.
