A gentle mixture of tragedy and whimsy. Strong
acting; solid interesting dialogue and characters,
nicely captured on film. Set in the late
sixties/early seventies spiced with a select few rock
tunes from the time, the film hints of "Harold and
Maude" without daring to be quite that odd.
Always interesting, with a gentle pace that never
drags, occasionally tugging at the heart strings, but
never squarely popping either, "Moonlight Mile" is
still warm and involving. Mostly honest, this somber
picture reveals itself slowly, intelligently,
artfully.
PS: I'd have faded to black on the "By Owner"
sign.
