Age of the Moon

About This Movie

Age of the Moon is one of those films that captures a certain vibe, blending nostalgia with youthful recklessness. The story centers around a young girl interning at Lockheed, which gives it this unique backdrop of ambition and the grandeur of space exploration. You feel the weight of her summer, as she oscillates between the mundane and the extraordinary—the old stock footage of the moon really adds a haunting yet beautiful layer. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing for introspection, but then it kicks into high gear when she attends that pivotal party. The performances are solid, especially the lead, who brings a rawness to her journey of self-discovery. It’s a mix of dreamy atmosphere and grounded reality that makes it stand out.
