Sar B A brilliant subtle movie with great nuanced performances from all the actors, from the leads to the co-stars to the cameos. A must see for adults. Great movie to watch with someone you're in love with. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Tony Z Diane Lane quietly answering "Yes," to her husband's damning questions, expressing in equal parts shame and newly acquired selfhood, was an astonishing scene. Here's to the cast of a drama which leaves fresh prints on well-trodden ground, sharpened by the microscope the family finds itself under in the summer camp milieu. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Lisa M It's a wonderful story of a young mother who never had a chance for have any idea what she missed out on since she was married n had her first child at17. Her husband is always working hard and doesn't know how to give her attention. I believe she loved Walker but she doesn't want to separate her children so she makes things work out with her husband Marty. Good ending but sad because I think she fell in love with Walker. Timeless movie. I'd give it 10 ⭐️ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/23 Full Review John K Yes, the acting was good.... The storyline royally sucked. The wife screws around and the husband has to leave his life? Wasn't it her choice to break all vows? Screen writers screw up, yet again. She chose to leave the relationship... She would leave...without anything pertaining to said relationship. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review Anthony P Underrated movie. It captures the late 60s / early 70s perfectly. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/22 Full Review tina m If you aren't a baby boomer (someone born in the U.S. in the years immediately after World War II), you might think this movie is merely a "chick flick" or a "Harlequin romance," or just a story about an restless housewife. But if you actually were a teenager in the U.S. during this era (as I was), the movie is an attempt at an explanation of what the nation experienced. I think this story is about the huge social change in the U.S. that occurred from the 1950's on. Something happened in the 1960's that changed things a lot; some may say for better; others may say for worse. Part of that was "sexual liberation." (Note that the bearing of one breast was an iconic gesture historically indicating freedom from slavery.} Certainly, the next generation of women would be more than housewives and enter many careers. The backdrop to all this turmoil was the Vietnam War that was raging, but this is going on far away and isn't touched upon in the movie. The mystery of the two Kennedys' assassinations and the Civil Rights Movement plus experimentation of drugs is also not in the movie. But this movie shows that the sea change in social mores ultimately affected almost everyone, even the most solid, conservative strata of society. The title A Walk on the Moon is appropriate because the moon is a symbol for romantic love and for change. Also the astronauts visit to the moon was brief, never to be repeated again.
