Three unexplained, identical murders in the city of Philadelphia will make a police officer devote his life to finding the mysterious serial killer behind them.
It piqued my interest from the opening scene. By the end of ‘1988’ – a very well-structured and powerful first act – it already had my undivided attention. Don’t let anyone tell you anything about the plot. If you know nothing, keep it that way. In the Shadow of the Moon is a must for sci-fi, mystery, and crime lovers, as well as lovers of intricate, non-linear narratives that need exploring and thought aplenty past the end credits.
I will say that one thing that bothered me, though, without going into details and spoiling it for you. I can’t remember the last time I watched a film with such a convoluted, mind-bending narrative, keeping a great pace up to the revelation of a brilliant twist and delivering it in such an anticlimactic way. Shame.
I will conclude by applauding all thespians believing in the project and giving such amazing performances.
