Closer to the Moon

About This Movie

Closer to the Moon is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama that pulls you into a quirky heist scenario set in Romania. The premise is offbeat – a police officer joins a band of robbers in a ploy to stage the robbery as a film shoot. It kinda plays with the idea of reality versus fiction, which adds a unique layer to the storytelling. The pacing has its moments, sometimes lingering on character interactions that reveal their motivations and relationships, while other times it rushes through the heist's complexities. Performances are lively, particularly the interactions between the lead characters, which bring out both humor and tension. The practical effects used in the fake film scenes are charming too, giving it a distinct feel that sets it apart from typical heist films.
