Far Side of the Moon Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
The film may be best appreciated by those who've seen the stage version.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Far Side of the Moon imbues the weightiest issues of human existence with a zero-gravity grace and charm.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
It takes about 28 days for the moon to orbit the earth and approximately 60 minutes for Far Side of the Moon to reveal its full splendor.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The Far Side of the Moon is a master class on turning a talky, one-man play into a visual delight.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Lepage is such an interesting camera subject, you stick with this dreamy rumination even when the going gets arch.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
As an actor, Lepage is a captivating presence, easily transforming from one sibling to the other. And as a director, he braids the personal and the universal with dexterity, turning theatrical intimacy into cinematic ecstasy.
Reel.com
Pam Grady
In this gorgeous, high-definition DV drama, its stage roots are obscured by arresting images in this tale of outer space, sibling rivalry, and one man's struggle to find his destiny.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Lepage maintains a leisurely pace and lets the narrative wander, but ultimately lands on the right side of the line between contemplative noodling and aimless navel-gazing, ending with an image that's simultaneously melancholy and playful.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
In essence, Lepage has remade 2001: A Space Odyssey without the Kubrick film's sense of spiritual curiosity.
Film Threat
Rory L. Aronsky
While the slow pace is a burden on some of what happens...,there is a beating pulse in "Far Side of the Moon." It's as wondrous as the imaginative tales we all read as kids.
Village Voice
Mark Peranson
Reworking his own raw material, Lepage spins a rich, moving film that acknowledges humanity's power to break out of Earth's daily gravity; in the process, he leaves audiences floating.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
Lepage brings a prodigious talent for startling, interwoven imagery to bear on a story already laden with metaphorical possibilities.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
An achingly eloquent rumination on our place in the universe.
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
Far Side of the Moon is a playful journey through childhood memories, medical calamity and our race's wistful hope that we may yet have a future playing up among the stars.
eye WEEKLY
Kim Linekin
Lepage's adaptation of his own stage play distills his typically grandiose ideas and visual quirks into a masterfully cohesive and entertaining film.
