Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Moonlighting is a wickedly pointed movie that takes a simple little story, tells it with humor and truth, and turns it into a knife in the side of the Polish government. Rated: 4/4 •  Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Martin Brown Common Sense Media Moonlighting might be the messiest series that's widely considered an all-time classic. Rated: 5/5 •  Oct 18, 2023 Full Review

Shioka O I liked it, the plot is tight and interesting. I regard this as a tragicomedy, social satire in 80s London about Polish workers. Acting is natural and effective. Good character study with voice-over narrate. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/16/22 Full Review Audience Member Not only is this movie stunningly boring and pointless, it makes no sense. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review
