What The Man in the Moon Is About
A fourteen year old girl living on a farm in 1950s Louisiana likes a boy who has moved in next door. He is interested in her older sister. The film tells first love and jealousy without inflating them; the narrative makes the relationship between the two sisters its real subject and puts it through a hard test in the final section. The detail of rural life is kept honest. Robert Mulligan directed; it is his last film. It is Reese Witherspoon's first screen role. A real warning: there is a sudden death and the ending is sad. Do not come to it expecting a light teenage romance.
