Rockwell gives a matchless performance that demonstrates anger, depression, humor, sadness, frustration, desperation, and even mild insanity. Being in almost every frame, he captures the audience completely

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 4, 2023

the film is rich with philosophical ideas grandeur in scope...it presents them in a tightly focused and efficiently structured psychological thriller

Essentially a one-man, two character piece, 'Moon' could be an old 'Twilight Zone' episode nurtured into a feature.

| Apr 14, 2023

Made with only a fraction of your average Star Wars or Marvel movie, but does so much with (relatively little). Sam Rockwell is just fantastic given that he’s largely in the film on his own. A tremendous sci-fi movie.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 24, 2022

It falls very much in the lineage of earlier sci-fi classics, but still provides enough virtuosity and individuality to make it somewhat novel.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 5, 2021

With Ziggy Stardust for a father, Major Tom for an uncle, and, presumably, the spiders from Mars for assorted in-laws, is it any wonder that Duncan Jones chose a science fiction project to mark his feature film debut?

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 31, 2021

The film engagingly sets a cold, scarily inhumane atmosphere that is interesting but not spectacular.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 29, 2020

[A] beautifully-crafted fable about the consequences of human greed and unfettered technological endeavour that's plausible enough to be genuinely chilling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2019

Rockwell gives a great performance in what is more or less a one-man film.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 9, 2019

Suffice it to say, Mr. Rockwell more than carries the film, with a nuanced performance that speaks volumes about the fears of alienation and corruption that always seem to accompany our literature about the future.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 6, 2018

Directed and conceived by Duncan Jones, Moon is quiet and disturbing, yet manages to be hopeful in the face of overwhelmingly grim conditions.

| May 23, 2018

A cue to the responsibility of filmmakers in a time when most seldom trust their audiences to think about answers, and asks questions that paralyze us in intricate fascination long after the final shot has left an imprint.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 9, 2015

Rockwell's certainly up for the challenge of playing multiple roles, but ultimately, he's just yammering to himself. This movie has half an idea and, and the end, tries to convince you it had seven.

| Original Score: C | Jun 22, 2013

Solaris and Blade Runner meet Silent Running. A movie with both a brain and a heart.

| Original Score: 82/100 | Jun 5, 2013

Intriguing, imaginative, and thematically ambitious, Moon gives ample proof that Jones is a serious talent, pushing his concepts into intellectually and spiritually challenging territory.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 8, 2012

It's a film that won't fail to move or excite anyone who's ever cast their eye skywards and let themselves wonder.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 29, 2012

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Sam Rockwell should have been nominated for Best Actor at least twice.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 28, 2011

Simple and alien-free example of the sci-fi genre. Slow, but there are so many details deserving attention, the chance to take them all in one only enhances the experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 14, 2010

Someday, Rockwell will get his Oscar due, I have no doubt. But I bet that when that day comes, lots of movie lovers will look back and say, 'But it should have happened for Moon.'
