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.

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.

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.

Hollywood Reporter

A winking portrait of visionaries, geeks and wackos that's diverting but too cheeky for its own good.

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

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

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.

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

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+
