Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
"The Man in the Moon" is an intimate, sentimental coming-of-age drama, a sweet little puppy love movie crushed by the enormity of its tragic twists.
– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
"The Man in the Moon" is a wonderful movie, but it is more than that, it is a victory of tone and mood. It is like a poem.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Gets an outstandingly natural performance out of Miss Witherspoon, who has no trouble carrying a lot of the film single-handedly. It falls to her to remind the audience that this story is at heart about a family, and she does.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
30 Aug 2004
fresh:
The heart-warming tone steadily becomes overheated.
– Derek Adams,
Time Out,

fresh:
Newcomer Witherspoon manages to strike exactly the right note as the tomboy on the verge of womanhood while Waterston works on several levels at once.
