(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1   A- "Moon is a deeply respectful motion picture, clearly endeavoring to shift the moon landings back to cultural regality, away from all the naysayers and cruel conspiracy theorists."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf "For all its swelling soundtrack and magnificent imagery, it leaves its most compelling story unexplored."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs B- "It seems more like a television program one would see on the Discovery Channel than a movie."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "Those old enough to remember optimism and expectancy, and to retain the child's wonder at the authentic universe, will find inspiration here."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 2.5/4 "In the Shadow of the Moon reminds us of a seemingly distant time when the United States was not so alienated from the rest of the world."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 3/5 "A stirring documentary about the experiences of the ten astronauts from every single Apollo mission that flew to the Moon."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Successfully recaptures the feeling of what made the Apollo missions so special."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "To say these guys still have the Right Stuff is an overwhelming understatement."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth "The movie fills us with wonder, and pride, and a tugging sense of loss."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards 4/4 "David Sington's stunning documentary sweeps away the layers of cynicism and familiarity, giving nine men who were there the opportunity to tell their riveting stories."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 7/10 "This is an enthralling documentary even if you have seen the story told before."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "[B]ittersweet... chock full of funny, warm, human memories of the moonshot astronauts..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/5 "It's thoroughly crowd-pleasing, although it's weakened by a relentlessly earnest tone."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline A "It shows how great we were, once upon a time."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 6/10 "Ten astronauts try to tell it like it was, but weighted down by the heaviness of the politics that created the lunar exploration program, the best stories will have to wait for later"   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 7/10 "An active and engaging look at the human side of the Apollo program."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1
