Moment by Moment

About This Movie

Moment by Moment is a rather intriguing blend of drama and romance that explores loneliness and unexpected connections. The film follows Trisha, a Beverly Hills socialite, whose life is shaken up when she meets Strip, a young drifter. It’s got this languid pacing that allows the emotional depth to breathe, which is kind of lovely, really. The performances, especially by Lily Tomlin, have this raw authenticity that makes the characters relatable despite their glamorous lives. The cinematography captures the sun-drenched California backdrop beautifully, enhancing the isolation and longing. The May-December romance aspect is handled with a certain tenderness, giving the film a unique vibe that stands apart from typical love stories.

Moment by Moment has a somewhat niche appeal among collectors, with its sparse distribution over the years. It’s not the easiest title to find in great condition, especially on VHS or DVD, making it a bit of a treasure for those who appreciate 70s romantic dramas. The film's exploration of generational relationships and the performances are what really draw in interest, and despite mixed critical reviews, the film has its own cult following eager to add it to their collection.
