Full Plot Details

Rural Louisiana, summer of 1957, Elvis is King. At 14, Dani is coming of age. Her older sister is beautiful, smart, and off to Duke in the fall; her mom's pregnant with number four (Dad wants a son), and Dad's pretty strict. Life gets sweeter when 17-year-old Court Foster, his widowed mom, and two little brothers move into the vacant farm next door. Court likes Dani's high spirits and direct way, and though he has a man's responsibilities on the farm, they go off swimming sometimes. The waters of adolescence are deeper than Dani realizes as hers and Court's feelings get jumbled. Then Mother Nature throws wrenching surprises at Dani, and she must come to terms with new emotions.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe Man in the Moon is a wonderful movie, but it is more than that, it is a victory of tone and mood. It is like a poem.
Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffNewcomer Witherspoon manages to strike exactly the right note as the tomboy on the verge of womanhood while Waterston works on several levels at once.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Dave KehrThe performances are all on the money, but two are outstanding. Newcomer Witherspoon manages to strike exactly the right note as the tomboy on the verge of womanhood while Waterston works on several levels at once.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Ted MaharMulligan has an impeccable sense of where to place the camera in each scene, positions that disclose without interfering and reveal without unveiling. His sensibility guides this movie with just the right tone and understated emotion.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatTender and touching film about two sisters whose close relationship is tested by the joy of love and the pain of grief.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksA touching, sweet-natured coming-of-age story set in a more innocent time, "The Man in the Moon" boasts sensitive direction and superb performances, even when the script occasionally falters.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Janet MaslinUntil its final reel, when it strains badly to accommodate an almost biblical stroke of retribution, The Man in the Moon is a small, fond film that achieves a kind of quiet perfection.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Nick PinkertonIn lesser hands, it would be young-adult fiction, but the coda-“Maybe life’s not supposed to make sense”-is anything but kid stuff.
Classic Film and Television - 8/10 by Michael E. GrostBeautifully filmed, with Mulligan's special gifts for depicting country life and the South.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Michael WilmingtonThe Man in the Moon, a gently scary ballad of a movie, is about how love can open your eyes and then blind them with tears. Perhaps that sounds overly sentimental. But this deeply moving film, directed by Robert Mulligan and produced by Mark Rydell, from a script by first-time scenarist Jenny Wingfield, never strays into bathos.
