Preview: Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna) (2008)


Poster: D

Review:

There is no visual flare but there's also no inventiveness or interest. We can tell from the preview what the poster represents, but it isn't very interesting to look at.

Trailer: B-

Review:

The trailer is a little more accessible than the poster. While it bears a striking resemblence in terms of style fo that of the lost-child film August Rush, the only part that it surpasses the other film is the preciousness of its child thesp.

Oscar Prospects:

I can't see this film making a mark at the Oscars. It may get some festival kudos, but it's not made by an established director and many will see too much similarity (despite there being very little) to last year's Babel.

Release Date:

March 21, 2008

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
