Way too long (2 more)
Painfully slow
A bit pointless
Disappointing
There will always be a lot of hype for a new Tarantino film. After seeing a trailer for a peek of Hollywood in '69 this looked interesting. It has a large ensemble talented cast playing many of the stars of the era.
Unfortunately there doesn't appear much point to this film until the last 15 minutes. Up to then it's very slow and overly long at nearly 2 hours 40 minutes long. It jumps from scenes of characters to others with little connecting them. I thought this was going to be a fairly accurate account of events that took place at the time... But it's far from that. It has its good elements but overall it was a bit of a dissapointment.

Yes it did seem a somewhat odd film overall.

Jesse Eisenberg has definitely paved his own path. The Double is another in what is becoming a long string of movies that are pretty far off the beaten path and outside the normal route of Hollywood stardom.

Jesse actually stars in two different roles, Simon James and James Simon. There were quite a few elements of the movie that reminded me of Fight Club, but not in physical form. More in regards to the mental aspect than anything else. The notion of "creating" an alter ego to live a world you formerly only dreamed of without consciously realizing that it's happening.

Bit of a mind bender, but in a good way. I love the stylistic approach to sets and costumes that the film employs. I've never seen a combination quite like it.

It's getting harder and harder to find anything that resembles a new and fresh idea in Hollywood these days. In the Shadow of the Moon definitely fits that bill.

There are loose ends added throughout the film right until the end that are all wrapped up quite beautifully in the final moments. There are excellent scenes and story arcs that occur regularly and allow the viewer to become completely engrossed in the mental twinings of the main protagonist. Interestingly, the movie ultimately ends up stretching the definition of the word protagonist and reminds us that we are sometimes looking at more than one, although they appear to be on opposite sides of the storyline.

Definitely give this a go. It's a Netflix original (one of the best I've seen).
