This sincere and intriguing mystery is a fine whodunit.

Full Review | Sep 14, 2021

Its combination of buddy cop drama, serial killer whodunit, and time travel thriller does seem like the result of a mix-and-matching algorithm.

At some point, In the Shadow of the Moon just goes down a wormhole of politics and elaborate theories. It's not fun to watch, and when we finally get the big reveal of why the killer did what she did we don't care.

Full moon or not this one will stay in the shadows.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 17, 2019

A reasonably OK science-fiction police procedural... The meat of the story is exciting sci-fi business.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Oct 15, 2019

The pacing lags in multiple areas, but the mystery draws you in until the very end. It won't be everyone's cup of tea regarding the political theme, but the plot tie up is worth it.

In spite of everything, the film feels solid and should entertain [its] target audience during its duration. [Full review in Spanish]

A competent film. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2019

Cop tracks killer from future; violence and language.

[Uses] all of the cliches. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Oct 7, 2019

A thriller than spans decades to explore the consequences of choices.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 7, 2019

A deeply weird, but ultimately enjoyable mashup of several genres.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2019

In the Shadow of the Moon comes up short in regard to the human angle. Still, there's enough mystery to pull the plot through, and all the technical aspects of the made-for-Netlix film are top tier.

In the Shadow of the Moon has two pretty good movies in its 115-minute runtime that just can't seem to come together.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 4, 2019

In the Shadow of the Moon is inconsistently fascinating, often muddled, and totally ignorant of why time travel rules.

Full Review | Oct 4, 2019

The twists in this film aren't as shocking as they are underwhelming. This isn't to say that they are predictable, but that these story beats could have been handled more elegantly.

Because of Boyd Holbrook's fine performance as an obsessed police officer, I tried to stay with the complicated story. Unfortunately, this mysterious time-travel crime film is more than complicated. It's downright confusing.

[W]hen you least expect it, "In the Shadow of the Moon" delivers a powerful message about the roots of hate and the dangers it poses to society. Don't let this one stay in the shadows for long.

Full Review | Original Score: A | Oct 3, 2019

Mostly successful, as "In the Shadow of the Moon" does just fine as a mystery and a fantasy, building to a suspenseful whole.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Oct 3, 2019

An intriguing sci-fi frenzy that never lands.
