Movie Reviews of Shoot the Moon
Movie Review: Good show-bad language
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed seeing this movie again, however, I forgot how much bad language is in it. As far as the movie content,I purchased this movie because I always liked Dana Hill. She was an extraordinary actress and was so amazing in the scene of the fight with her dad. I loved seeing a young Tracy Gold and Tina Yothers as well. Overall, I rate this movie as a great movie. Very touching parts, but could have done without all the bad language.
Summary of Shoot the Moon
After fifteen years of marriage, an affluent couple divorce and take up with new partners.Two big-scaled performances fuel this bleak study of a marriage falling apart, a look at how two intelligent, civilized people can become children again when it comes to divorce. Albert Finney is a blustering writer who's found a younger woman (Karen Allen); Diane Keaton is the bewildered wife who falls into the arms of a younger man (Peter Weller), a contractor around the house. This might be comedy rather than tragedy were it not for the presence of the couple's three daughters, the oldest of whom (Dana Hill) holds a particular grudge against her father. This material was considered something of a change of pace for director Alan Parker, who'd worked in a slicker, noisier vein before (Midnight Express and Fame, for instance). Actually, Parker brings his usual over-determined approach, so the feel of the film is closer to a beautifully staged TV commercial than a searing Ingmar Bergman movie. Bo Goldman's script is heartfelt, but there doesn't seem to be much going on beneath the surface of this familiar saga. The performances by Finney and Keaton are expert, chivvying in whatever subtlety they can manage within Parker's overbearing world. The ending almost feels like a throwback to a certain strain of 1960s British cinema, and certainly doesn't let anybody--including the viewer--off the hook. --Robert Horton
