Leigh was good. She's a photojournalist that is tripping out in a psych ward trying to remember if she killed her boyfriend or not. But this movie has serious construction issues. Flashbacks that confuse and an ending that doesn't provide any answers.

I thought it better than most apparently; however, it still wasnt great. Were some interesting things in there that kept us til the end but still glad I got it on Netflix vs paying for it at a theater.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

The only reason I'm alright with giving this half of a star is because of Leigh's performance.

"The Moment" is a psychological thriller more muddled than the mind and the maze it is caught up in.

Watching the movie becomes a kind of parlor game: Is Lee capable of murder? Which moment is the moment?

The Dissolve

A risible film but not an evil one, The Moment is made all the more painful by its seemingly earnest intentions.

Rated: 0/5

Jennifer Jason Leigh stars in a committed performance, though she can't quite overcome the tedious fluctuations that drive us away rather than rope us in.

Rated: 2/5
