"Moon Garden" is in a class all by itself. It has some of the feel of early David Lynch movies, as well as some by Tarsem. It is definitely one of the most unique and utterly mind-blowing films I have seen in decades. The little girl who plays the lead role is amazing. How she was able to handle what was required of her is in itself astonishing. And the effects are beyond anything I have ever seen in a low budget film of this type.
Suffice it to say, Mr. Harris is a genius of filmmaking, and has a fantastic career ahead of him. He is poised to become a legend, after only one feature that seems to be on his credits, and should be allowed to go in whatever direction he desires, but the cynic in me is convinced that he will get talked into doing films for Marvel or DC, and all the creative juice that he brought to this will be lost for good.
There are no other words that can sum up the incredible job that Harris has done, and the fact that he was able to get such a devastating performance out of a minor is beyond anyone's imagining. Rather than belabor the point, all I can add to sum it up is that you will be utterly speechless after you see this film.
