Three Cornered Moon

About This Movie

Three Cornered Moon is a delightful blend of comedy and social commentary from the early 30s. Elliott Nugent's direction brings a light-hearted yet chaotic energy to the Rimplegar household, which is filled with eccentric characters. Elizabeth, the protagonist, is sort of the straight man amidst the lunacy, trying to navigate life after their family's financial downfall. The pacing is brisk, which keeps you engaged, and the interplay between Elizabeth and her hapless brothers creates these wonderfully absurd moments. The performances really shine, especially from the leads, who manage to balance humor with a hint of poignancy. It’s fascinating how the film captures the spirit of the time, reflecting both the absurdity and challenges of adjusting to a new world after the crash.
