Category: Movies Movie- THE MOON IS UPSIDE DOWN (5.00pm)

Loren Taylor’s darkly comic debut feature THE MOON IS UPSIDE DOWN was awarded Best First Feature at the closing ceremony of the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival this weekend after sell-out screenings at the highly regarded A-List festival in Estonia.

STUFF/ WAIKATO TIMES Graeme Tuckett 4/5 stars “This is a literate, clever and blackly funny gem. It won’t be for everyone, but I think if you like The Moon is Upside Down at all, you’ll probably love it. Bravo.

In this New Zealand black comedy, three women – a duped mail-order bride, a numbed anaesthetist determined to have a romantic weekend, and an empty nester on an unexpected mission of mercy – each navigates her way through an unfamiliar landscape and the contours of the human heart.
