Overlook [its] distracting formal missteps ... and you may find a film that engenders resonant empathy.

In Full Moon, one half of a couple struggles to keep it together. In New Moon, a young boy develops a crush on an older cousin. In Waning Moon, an older man pursues a disinterested younger and in Waxing Moon, two childhood friends reconnect as adults.

Four Moons is consistently watchable, but just as thoroughly disposable.

Letras Libres

A movie about what makes us human, acceptance, hope of a better tomorrow, no matter how hard it seems. That's also what cinema is about. [Full review in Spanish]

A hard movie to watch, not for the sexual content, but for the way it portrays relationships. [Full review in Spanish]

The writing is masterful and the actors breathe life into every character with skill and grace! I tend to shy away from movies that are subtitled. I'm glad I took a chance on this one! I was literally sobbing by the end of the movie. I can't recommend this movie highly enough!

Perfect presentation of slice-of-life in gay community through four different stories with main character from different age range, showing how the struggle, desire, urge, and experience can add layer and depth into the conflict each character has. Visually, it's just average, but I personally forever in love with the representation through well-developed actors and their environments.

Is a good movie with interesting stories. It could have been better but for a compilation of short stories that cover kids, young adults and elders alike it was a very beautiful movie.

Describing four different cases about how people face the discovery of their sexuality, "Cuatro Lunas" is a beautiful metaphor of life in its different facets, managing both subtlety and firmness in a poetic and precise way. In spite of the multiple clichés that it presents, the story has great structure and rhythm, noting the ability of Tovar Velarde to approach the subject of homosexuality in Mexico during the XXI century, removing the stereotypes that are commonly attributed to it. 76/100
