In the Shadow of the Moon Reviews
This sincere and intriguing mystery is a fine whodunit.
| Sep 14, 2021
Its combination of buddy cop drama, serial killer whodunit, and time travel thriller does seem like the result of a mix-and-matching algorithm.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2020
At some point, In the Shadow of the Moon just goes down a wormhole of politics and elaborate theories. It's not fun to watch, and when we finally get the big reveal of why the killer did what she did we don't care.

Full moon or not this one will stay in the shadows.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 17, 2019
A reasonably OK science-fiction police procedural... The meat of the story is exciting sci-fi business.
| Original Score: B- | Oct 15, 2019
The pacing lags in multiple areas, but the mystery draws you in until the very end. It won't be everyone's cup of tea regarding the political theme, but the plot tie up is worth it.
| Original Score: B- | Oct 14, 2019
In spite of everything, the film feels solid and should entertain [its] target audience during its duration. [Full review in Spanish]

Cop tracks killer from future; violence and language.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 7, 2019
[Uses] all of the cliches. [Full review in Spanish]

A thriller than spans decades to explore the consequences of choices.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 7, 2019
A deeply weird, but ultimately enjoyable mashup of several genres.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2019
In the Shadow of the Moon comes up short in regard to the human angle. Still, there's enough mystery to pull the plot through, and all the technical aspects of the made-for-Netlix film are top tier.

In the Shadow of the Moon has two pretty good movies in its 115-minute runtime that just can't seem to come together.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 4, 2019
In the Shadow of the Moon is inconsistently fascinating, often muddled, and totally ignorant of why time travel rules.
| Oct 4, 2019
The twists in this film aren't as shocking as they are underwhelming. This isn't to say that they are predictable, but that these story beats could have been handled more elegantly.

Because of Boyd Holbrook's fine performance as an obsessed police officer, I tried to stay with the complicated story. Unfortunately, this mysterious time-travel crime film is more than complicated. It's downright confusing.

[W]hen you least expect it, "In the Shadow of the Moon" delivers a powerful message about the roots of hate and the dangers it poses to society. Don't let this one stay in the shadows for long.
| Original Score: A | Oct 3, 2019
Mostly successful, as "In the Shadow of the Moon" does just fine as a mystery and a fantasy, building to a suspenseful whole.
| Original Score: B+ | Oct 3, 2019
An intriguing sci-fi frenzy that never lands.
| Original Score: C | Oct 3, 2019
