The Man in the Moon

A coming-of-age film that understands how intense everything feels at thirteen. Two sisters living in rural Louisiana experience first love and its attendant complications when a local boy comes between them. It goes for a certain sun-dappled, elegiac quality, and pretty much gets there.
