This one gets you thinking!! Beautifully shot, beautifully written. Plus the music is rad and it makes you laugh! This movie touches on the subject of life and death in a way that most people don't talk about, but should! I would highly recommend watching!! I can't wait to see it again :) :) :)

Defying our society's fear of death, Moon Manor showcases how dying on one's terms can be empowering. This touching, quirky film is thought provoking, original and avoids a formulaic plot.

This is, without the slightest doubt, the best Film ever made. The acting - simply astounding, the screenplay - philosophically marvelous, directing - heartwarmingly buoyant, editing - cutting edge, costumes - interminably tasteful, producing - so good! Gosh, I wish I'd had more words to describe this Masterpiece of modern Art.

Moon Manor is a touching story about finding a family through being oneself. The diverse ensemble cast deliver memorable performances that immediately draw the viewer into the film's world, and shining brightly among them all is Jimmy Carrozo, telling a larger-than-life version of his own story. The film's bright colors, quirky charm, and homey atmosphere give a human touch to the controversial topics it addresses, such as mortality. The tight script, practical visual effects, and exceptional score heighten the impact of each actor's performance. With doses of comedy, surrealism, and tension, it's a film that will make you laugh and cry, but above all think about the impact you have on others, and how you measure a life well lived.

Comparable to 'Beginners' and 'Terms of Endearment', this film is brilliantly written, acted, and shot, capturing the unforgettable Jimmy Carrozo as he transitions from this life to the next. A fearless, funny, and deeply rewarding story, with a great soundtrack and easter eggs throughout. Stream and see for yourself.

So good, very well made! Beautiful story of life and death, while also funny. This film gave me a whole new perspective on assisted suicide. I'm definitely Going to see it again, and I would highly recommend this film to anyone.

Powerful film that makes you feel amazing to be alive! Interesting subject matter, characters, and overall ethos. I am certainly going to watch this again.

We loved this movie. We heard from a friend that it's worth seeing, and we were not disappointed. Poignant, wise, and brave. It's both heartbreaking and hilarious. And the lead actor's performance is startlingly powerful. Couldn't recommend more highly. Bravo to the humans who made this film.

Moon Manor (2021) was co-written and co-directed by Machete Bang Bang and Erin Granat. James 'Jimmy' Carrozo plays himself. In the movie, Carrozo has decided to commit suicide because he's losing his memory. He wants to leave the world in his own way. H e invites his friends to a "fun"eral, and will take the medicines when he decides the time is right. The plot of the movie is what happens on that evening. Many friends arrive, and there's also an uninvited guest. This as a non-human creature, but it's not Death. This movie sounds strange, but I would prefer to call it unusual. It was interesting and well acted. I recommend it. We saw Moon Manor virtually as part of ImageOut, the excellent Rochester LGBT film festival. It doesn't yet have enough ratings to be meaningful. I really liked it, and rated it 9.
