About This Movie

Waiting for the Moon offers a somewhat whimsical glimpse into the world of Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas, set against the backdrop of 1930s France. The film’s tone strikes an interesting balance; it’s both comedic and reflective. You get this nice pace that kind of ebbs and flows, mirroring the couple’s life together. There’s a gentle warmth in the performances, particularly in how they portray the nuances of their relationship. You also see cameos from literary figures of the time like Hemingway, which adds a certain authenticity. The practical effects are minimal but effective in creating that Parisian feel. It’s not overly flashy, but it captures a distinct atmosphere that resonates with anyone interested in the literary scene of that era.
