Review of Moon Rock for Monday

Great little film, a blend of 'The tree of life' and 'little miss sunshine.' A story about how we fit within our world and the legacy we leave. Moonrock is about what it means to have quality of life, we're here for such a short period and it's only until most of us become elderly that the thoughts about mortality and time really come into play. Tyler and Monday are wicks that burn bright but way too quickly. Monday struggles with the tight rein her father has on her for fear of losing her after the death of his wife. Tyler lives in the shadow of his mothers death and his longing to reconnect and make sense of his loss. Tyler has had to provide for himself and answer to no one. Monday lives in a cotton ball that slowly suffocates her. As a father, how do you respond to the thought that you could lose your child to an illness or accident? What does it mean to be alive and to live life, Monday is in her fathers prison, Tyler is headed for prison. Both will search for answers to their future, need each other not to survive but to live and learn.
