Lepage is such an interesting camera subject, you stick with this dreamy rumination even when the going gets arch.

The Far Side of the Moon is a master class on turning a talky, one-man play into a visual delight.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post

As an actor, Lepage is a captivating presence, easily transforming from one sibling to the other. And as a director, he braids the personal and the universal with dexterity, turning theatrical intimacy into cinematic ecstasy.

It takes about 28 days for the moon to orbit the earth and approximately 60 minutes for Far Side of the Moon to reveal its full splendor.
