      Audience Member There is too much premature reverence in this film. The filmmakers have convinced themselves of the worthiness of these two characters -- but they've forgotten to convince the viewers. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kurt Jacobsen Chicago Reader Stein and Toklas, this ain’t. And whoever the players are, they aren’t very engaging. Rated: 1/4 May 9, 2022 Full Review Walter Goodman New York Times ''Waiting for the Moon'' drifts lazily, with the camera taking long rests on the faces of the principals. May 21, 2003 Full Review Bernard Welt Washington Blade With excellent supporting performances by Bernadette Lafont, Jacques Boudet, Bruce McGill, and Andrew McCarthy, and outstanding music. by Michael Sahl, Waiting for the Moon is clearly a labor of love for all involved. May 24, 2022 Full Review Lisa Ruddick Sojourner Highly textured exploration of some of the ways in which women love and help one another. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Almost contemptuous of fact, this unconvincing lesbian romance opts for a soft, amorphous approach in depicting the elationship between the writer-emigre Gertrude Stein and longtime companion Alice B. Toklas. Rated: C Sep 19, 2006 Full Review Carol Cling Las Vegas Review-Journal Rated: 2/5 Apr 9, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
