Review of Pontiac Moon (1994) by Sora Z — 04 Nov 2009

A story inspired by Neil Armstrong's quote, "that one step of man, one giant leap of mankind." But one does not need to step on the moon to understand what it means. Pontiac Moon tells the story of a dysfunctional family, an irresponsible father who never listens to anybody, a mother who's crippled with fear caused by an accident, and a child who hasn't known how to enjoy life around him ---- and that crazy trip to the Spires of the Moon that's both eventful and momentous as they learn a lesson or two from each other.

I like introspective films. And this one will surely go to my list of favorites. The characters are so well-played, especially that of Andy (Ryan Todd). He played his character with such depth and sincerity that I find very touching.
