2.5/4
Liars Moon begins as a strong, romantic story, about two lovers against the world. Its highlighted by some fresh young performances, but takes a strange turn in a convoluted ending, something that I was not expecting. Go to Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk 04/09/2022

should have been a debacle, but it holds together just well enough to work if you give in to its nostalgic romanticism Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 02/19/2022
1.5/4
The film is such a grueling watch that the proper reaction to the ending is a well-timed raspberry. Go to Full Review Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network 02/14/2022

The film, about a taboo relationship, is absorbing until it veers into an abyss of melodrama in the final reel. Future soap queen Tonja Walker rocks a supporting role and it's always lovely to see Yvonne DeCarlo and Susan Tyrelleven in tiny roles. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Emily H. @Hollis.26 Jul 4 Liars moon was odd. The first time I watched it I had to rewind, watch it. Rewind, watch it. Everything was like a magic trick. You didn’t quite see it coming. I thought the movie was amazing though. The plot twist definitely twisted. See more 05/10/2013 Liar's Moon is an oddball romance and drama film, but it sure is an interesting one. While the film can be hammy and the script seems confused as to what decade it's supposed to take place in, Liar's Moon is surprisingly well-written, solidly performed, funny at the right times, heartfelt when it wants to be, and throws in some very surprising plot twists too. It's a very underrated romance and drama that greatly surprised me. See more 11/23/2012 I've seen it 27 times.......I used to know all the words to it......

After eloping they are mistakenly told they are related, which sets into motion a tragic series of events. Not the happy ending I hoped for.

There was a feeling that this was earmarked for disaster from the outset, and it certainly held true. See more Read all reviews
