Moonlight

Description

Product Description Young teen Claire discovers a bleeding boy in her family’s garden. The boy is a young Afghani drug courier, wounded and fleeing the drug cartel. Claire decides to keep the boy a secret and help him heal. Their language barrier is overcome through human emotion as they bond against all odds. When the drug dealers get to close, the two of them hit the road becoming criminals… Review Surreal and occasionally disturbing, 'Moonlight' resembles nothing so much as a fevered fairy tale... the movie finds a hypnotic balance of poignancy and energy, anchored by Ms. Van den Broeck s astonishingly self-assured performance. She s like a Belgian Dakota Fanning, if Ms. Fanning ever decided to go Method. --Jeanette Catsoulis, NY TimesAs graphic as it is provocative, the film uses scenes of bloodshed to comment on broader themes like creation and destruction and despite its multilingual dialogue, Moonlight communicates in a manner that somehow transcends the cultural barriers separating the characters. The result is, at the very least, illuminating. --San Francisco Bay GuardianA wild dream that spins into a nightmare… it will stick in your mind, and may even disturb your sleep. The film has going for it two strong performances from the youngsters and beautiful cinemagraphic images that remind you of the best Europe has to offer. --Elizabeth Weitzman, NY Daily News
