Moon Manor

"Moon Mansion" like other gems of 2020/2021 such as Red Rocket, Nine Days, The Novice, Mass, Sand Storm, and The Hard They Fall show uniqueness, creativity, originality in their scripts. They made you think, question life, and reflect on your day-to-day actions.

"Moon Mansion" with direction of Machete Bang Bang & Erin Granata has a beautiful performance by James 'Jimmy' Carrozo as himself. Jimmy decides to gather a bunch of friends, especially the ones who gave him the best memories in life for his last day in this world, a "party" he calls "FUN-eral".

This movie is original, raw, sometimes funny and the ensemble cast enhances the plot.

A MUST SEE!!!

Again it's sad when we get old with sickness and flashback old times is what try to demonstrate here. I would say it's real life situation and people when some ages must echo this.

Defying our society's fear of death, Moon Manor showcases how dying on one's terms can be empowering. This touching, quirky film is thought provoking, original and avoids a formulaic plot.

Moon Manor is a warm, touching look at a life well-lived and one man's choice to end it with a grin. The fact that it's based on the life of its lead actor gives it a special, haunting resonance that stayed with me long after the final credits. A must-see!

Moon Manor (2021) was co-written and co-directed by Machete Bang Bang and Erin Granat.

James 'Jimmy' Carrozo plays himself. In the movie, Carrozo has decided to commit suicide because he's losing his memory. He wants to leave the world in his own way. H e invites his friends to a "fun"eral, and will take the medicines when he decides the time is right.

The plot of the movie is what happens on that evening. Many friends arrive, and there's also an uninvited guest. This as a non-human creature, but it's not Death.

This movie sounds strange, but I would prefer to call it unusual. It was interesting and well acted. I recommend it.

We saw Moon Manor virtually as part of ImageOut, the excellent Rochester LGBT film festival. It doesn't yet have enough ratings to be meaningful. I really liked it, and rated it 9.
