Title: ...stilted and awkward...
Product review: In a cinematic work it is common practice for a film maker to carve a plot that forces the viewer to suspend some, if not all, of their belief. Claire of the Moon is such a film. Prior to viewing this feature, I read the novel and herein lies the problem. As a work of fiction, the story is plausible enough and actually quite enjoyable. However, it just doesn't quite make the seamless transition from novel to film that a viewer hopes for. The acting is stilted and awkward and the verbal sparring between the two main characters that was so successful on the written page falls quite flat here. The only saving graces in this otherwise disjointed effort by Nicole Conn are the beautiful cinematography and the incredibly wonderful score by Michael Allen Harrison. Save yourself the aggravation that comes from being disappointed. Read the book instead.
