8/10
First class movie
11 February 2005
'Shoot the Moon'(1982) Shot in postcard beautiful Marin County California, 'Shoot the Moon' is the story of a 15 year marriage that collapses and the after effects it has on the entire family. Albert Finney is a successful writer and Dianne Keaton is his wife and the mother of their four children. This is a highly charged, emotional movie and the performances are all rock solid. Being the great actor that he is, Finney devours his role as the unhappy writer who wants out and Keaton is superb as the wife who just doesn't understand why this is happening to her. The late actress Dana Hall is the eldest daughter and the viewer just wants to reach out and hug her to ease the pain she is going through.If you like a Kleenex type of film, 'Shoot the Moon' is for you
