Dear Mister Moon

About This Movie

So, 'Dear Mister Moon' is this sweet little family film from '98. It’s all about Sigrid and Saara, two half-sisters with a pretty stark contrast – one’s got this striking white hair, and the other is described as black-blooded. The film dives into family bonds and the notion of belonging, especially when they discover their grandmother’s been put into a nursing home. The pacing has a nice gentle flow, and the atmosphere feels nostalgic, almost whimsical at times. It’s got a certain charm, and the performances feel genuine, like you’re really rooting for these girls. They plan to rescue their grandmother and hide her away, which adds a layer of adventure to the heartwarming story. The practical effects are simple but serve the story well, giving it a grounded feel.
