i have hear good thing about this film and be and you guess it and a bit disappointed . reese witherspoon be a promise surprisingly good and surprisingly confident and at a young age while really all the ( small ) cast be quite solid and in their simple 50s american setting . the reason i do not rate this film high be mainly that towards the end and the grief show by the old sister do not seem so real and this pull me out of the film a bit . perhaps we be expect to fill in the plot and or perhaps the film need to be a bit longer . maureen character be quite underdeveloped i think . it be understandable that dani ( reese w. and the young ) would be traumatise and angry and but why be her sister show to be more upset . because she a few year older . hasn not the end rather undermine the rest of the film . the pacing of the movie make it seem that maureen and court have only just meet and when he get tractored ( warn represent this scene be surprisingly brutal and in retrospect it seem like it might have be try to shock a bit . well it work . ) . it depend what you want if you want the girl happy story of young love that it seem like youre go to get and youre in for a surprise . man in the moon be both quaint and dreamy and a harsh coming of age film a rather awkward combination . i like the character of court though and i can see what girls watch this might be watch . and i love that they have the courage to both let him hurt the young sister ( most men would and most film wouldn not ) and get kill . positive on my pretty harsh rating scale . for some reason i find jason london on a tractor funny .
