Not to be confused with man ON the moon 1999... that's a very different film. Dani and maureen (reese witherspoon, emily warfield) are the trent sisters; teenagers, just coming of age. They are both starting to notice boys. Including court, the one who just moved in next door. When tragedy strikes, it's devastating to all the locals. And it tests family dynamics. Can't say too much...for spoilers. It's quite good. Loss. Growing up in the south. First love. Family. Includes a couple songs performed by elvis. And lot of cicadas and crickets chirping constantly. As they do. Directed by robert mulligan. He was nominated for mockingbird. Man in the moon was the last film he directed. Written by jenny wingfield.
