When A Gun Killed My Moon

About This Movie

So, 'When A Gun Killed My Moon' is this intriguing piece that dives deep into the psyche of its protagonist, Marco, who's grappling with some heavy stuff—trauma, depression, you know the drill. The contrast with Makoy, this bright kid, really pulls you in. There's a strange, almost surreal atmosphere given the moon's disappearance; it feels like a metaphor for Marco's own inner darkness. The pacing's a bit uneven, but it works—like a reflection of his mental state. And those practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a layer of authenticity. The performances are where it shines, particularly the chemistry between Marco and Makoy. It’s distinctive for its blend of heavy themes with a light touch, capturing that delicate balance of hope and despair.
