Someday, Rockwell will get his Oscar due, I have no doubt. But I bet that when that day comes, lots of movie lovers will look back and say, 'But it should have happened for Moon.'

Evocative, riveting, and ultimately contemporary in a roundabout way, Moon is a superb mood piece, sublimely cradled by Jones, filtered through tireless work from star Sam Rockwell.

Despite the modest resources, 'Moon' is so visually astonishing that it almost looks like it was shot on location on Earth's oldest satellite.
Mar 5, 2010
Out of this world. A story that could easily have been from the early days of science fiction. It's a film that has a make-or-break lead role, and Sam Rockwell makes it an incredible journey. Paul Chambers, CNN.

a puzzle with a solution that is elegant yet savage
Jan 17, 2010
Contemplates a future full of potential and yet robbed of hope, an era where the worst malfunction technology can suffer is to simply function too well for its own good.
Dec 17, 2009
Moon entertains by posing a puzzle whose solution opens into disturbing existential truths and paradoxes.
Dec 16, 2009
A well-assembled sci-fi thriller.
Dec 16, 2009
Top CriticA frequently engrossing science fiction story given a particular tension and seriousness by its moral inquiry into what it means to be fully human and alive.
Dec 16, 2009
Moon actually gets a little dull in the later reels, just when it should be peaking in mystery and tension.
