Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter A winking portrait of visionaries, geeks and wackos that's diverting but too cheeky for its own good. Apr 5, 2013 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Mr. Ennis uses cheeky editing to invite viewers to choose their own level of skepticism, and he lets his subjects ramble just long enough to leave you wondering whether they're winking at you, Mr. Ennis is winking at them, or what. Rated: 4/5 Apr 5, 2013 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star A lighthearted documentary by Canada's Simon Ennis that examines just how intently some Earthlings fixate upon that glowing grey gem in the night sky. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 8, 2013 Full Review Cory Woodroof Lumination Network The film fights for the idea that no matter how unattainable your aims are, they're justified because they're a part of you. Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Chris Knight National Post It's possible that not all of Ennis's interview subjects appreciate the company they keep in this film. But in spite of the sometimes silly nature of the material, there are oddball moments of truth. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 14, 2013 Full Review Jason Gorber ScreenAnarchy Lunarcy! is one of those delightful character piece documentaries, akin to where Errol Morris will go down to some swampy Florida town and meet totally unique, bizarre and obsessive individuals and put them on screen for our edification. Rated: B+ Dec 28, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member so Wes Anderson made a documentary... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly endearing & enlightening Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Yeah ... so here's a bunch of crazy people with frankly stupid ideas about the moon. When Erroll Morris does a documentary about oddballs, he finds some deeper truths to explore. Here's a bunch of idiots I could really give a flying fuck about. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this documentary. It so perfectly taps into the minds of these passionate people with just the right sense of humor and purpose. And the music is great. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member fornicating man-bats! love the dreamers. felt a bit exploity given the subjects' limitations, but in an endearing way. hope their dreams come true. ps. love the moon! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming, funny, and somewhat face palm-worthy is "Lunarcy". The people portrayed are compelling and interesting, though one character certainly stands above the pack. A great illustration of human dedication in the face of lacking belief.
