To the Moon
Audience award nominated film. Vote after the screening.
A young couple (Scott Friend and Madeleine Morgenweck) is going through a relationship crisis. Seeking intimacy anew and to rediscover the kinship of souls that brought them together, they visit a remote forest cabin in the Northeast of the United States. Here, they can finally be alone together, undisturbed by anyone, with only their thoughts. Meanwhile, an unexpected guest appears, the man's brother, Roger, who hasn’t been seen for a long time (Will Brill sporting outstanding sideburns). The visit disturbs the newlyweds' peace profoundly enough to reconsider their relationship’s foundations. Is it as stable as they had thought? A very intense work written for three strong performances, To the Moon is an original mix of family drama with an admixture of a psychological thriller, turning towards a haunted-house film. Stylized music creates an unusual atmosphere, emphasizes the location's claustrophobic feel and stimulates the imagination.
