Farewell to the Moon

About This Movie

So, 'Farewell to the Moon' takes you back to the summer of '72, a time saturated with nostalgia—think flower power meets space race. This Dutch drama unfolds in an apartment where 12-year-old Duch navigates his world of adolescent crushes and dreams of space travel. It's not just about the mission to the moon; it’s a rich tapestry of childhood innocence set against a backdrop of changing times. The performances feel authentic, and Duch's longing is palpable. The practical effects—while modest—actually enhance that dreamy atmosphere. You really get a sense of that era's vibe through the visuals and the sounds. The pacing does take its time, but it mirrors the slow unraveling of Duch's life and thoughts, which is quite engaging.
