Don't Come Back from the Moon (2017) Reviews
Possible Alternate Title - When Fathers Leave
Originally attracted to this movie as I am a James Franco fan, but his role lasted about 20 minutes and then he abruptly disappeared, leaving his family and the viewer twisting in the wind as to why or where he went. For me, I spent most of the duration of the film pondering that question. Good acting by the principal stars but slow moving and a little too full of symbolism for my taste.
Peels the layer off a difficult subject
Similar movie: Gummo. Highly recommended. Divorce and family breakdown is a significant issue facing many today, yet a certain narrative has dominated how it is treated. Any movie that tackles broken homes deserves merit. As a male who at seventeen saw his parents divorce in the first wave (mid-80s) and seeing it spread and poison, my attitude has long shifted away from the standard narrative of the deadbeat dad loser. Nothing could be further from the truth and what divorce does is make the child eventually turn his sights on what societal forces enable and encourage such a destructive event. Every viewpoint has to be considered.
So Dads Run Off
If you want to watch life in a small nowhere town go nowhere as a few fathers lose interest & move out leaving wives & kids to not do much but mope around then this should entertain you. No subtitles so you know dialogue is not important. Why isn't it the mom's who run off?
Bait & Switch
There is nothing relating to science fiction in this film. We agonized though a porta-John of teenage angst only to emerge covered in a stinky blue slime of disappointment. Yet another Millenial flop. Hated it!
Realistic Dystopia
The previous reviewer was right - this film deserves an audience and should be showing at more than one out of the way theater in a major metropolitan area. It's beautifully shot with interesting camera angles and extreme close-ups of its fresh young stars. It's set in a poor area that has been further ravaged by some natural or man-made disaster. While what has happened isn't spelled out, what is clear and poignantly portrayed is the effect poverty and hopelessness have on families and the young people left behind. Even though the landscape is bleak and the future uncertain, the movie still leaves you with a sense of hope.
