| ViewLondonKatherine McLaughlinAmy Seimetz is fast becoming a face to watch. |
| Film ThreatJessica Baxter9 Full Moons is full of complex characterizations, which is part of what makes it so special. You can't sum up Lev or Frankie in a couple of words. |
| Gateway CinephileAndrew WyattWhen 9 Full Moons is focused on the forlorn two-person saga of Lev and Frankie, it's at its most affecting and intriguing. |
| The Film StageForrest CardamenisDespite the initial promise, though, the more we get to see of Lev and Frankie's unlikely romance and chaotic lives, the less original it seems. |
| User ReviewDr. S9 Full Moons is exactly why we need indie cinema. It's a thoughtful, edgy, lusty, and profoundly mature fever dream of a film, beautifully directed by Tomer Almagor. The performance here by Seimetz is devastating and formidable. Roberts, as a troubled and discontent musician, hits a level of depth veering on the poetic. Together they are cataclysmic. The screenplay, also written by Almagor, is edgy, restrained, and sophisticated echoing the complex films of Cassavettes, John Huston in his late period, and other writer/directors who delved into the dark complexities of conflicted people, dancing on the edge of their lives, who fall in love. The cinematography perfectly captures the deeply melancholic noir-tinged chiaroscuro of East Hollywood and it's hidden nooks and crannies haunted by broken dreams and lost souls. Highly recommend this film, a perfect antidote to the skull crushing tent-poles that dominate the cinema in these times. |
| User ReviewJesse SLoved this film! Beautifully directed with electric performances from the cast. Definitely a must. |
| User ReviewDavid ZGreat relationship story. Touching, raw, full of emotion and sometimes tough to watch the self-destructive behavior that some folks have--and then, voila, moments of tenderness. Really enjoyed getting to know these characters. |
| User ReviewAmir BCompelling, heartfelt, personal. I loved it. |
| User ReviewLee MThis is a beautifully shot film about two really fragile people trying to make life work for themselves and each other. Set in LA, it has a very familiar feel and touches a lot of LA memories for me. The acting and the music are terrific adding to the beautifully woven story of two broken people trying to make love work. |
