Serious Moonlight

The movie seriously goes on too long, with the last five minutes designed to be a twist in the story but really just left me scratching my head.

Ryan tries too hard to reestablish her professional reputation and turns it into a meaningless, annoying film destined for oblivion, right alongside her other recent efforts.

Sadly, something seems to have gotten lost in translation.

Adrienne Shelly deserves better.

More strident than funny, the film illustrates that old French proverb, "Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get out."

Serious Moonlight has its flaws, but then what marriage doesn't?

While I enjoy Ryan’s commitment to the gonzo premise, I can’t help but think how much better Shelly would have handled the dark satire of it all. Still, it’s an intriguing film and I think worth a watch.

Serious Moonlight is a smart and mature farce that considers the potential for healing and reconciliation in a long-standing but troubled relationship.

Part slapstick comedy and part revenge thriller, Serious Moonlight doesn't know what it wants to be; even the talents of those assembled on screen aren't enough to life this out of bargain bin territory.
