First I thought this was going to be a sci-fi movie. And then I thought it was going to be a Todd Solondz film.
I guess I’ll have to see all of Todd Haynes’ films.
Safe. Todd Haynes. 1995.
This film is surprisingly engaging, despite being saddled with a plot (FSVO plot) that goes through some pretty groan-inducing moves. (A ten minute third act opener that does the birth/sex/death thing? The pregnant mother falling while running through the woods during a rain storm? C’mon. Just. C’mon.)
But it’s not bad.
The Man in the Moon. Robert Mulligan. 1991.
