TrailerBucharest 1959. A spectacular Bank heist has the country in an uproar. In post-war Communist Romania it is an unimaginable slap in the face to the iron fisted authorities. Four men and a woman are arrested, tried, convicted and while waiting for their execution... are forced to star in a propaganda film about the crime. All five protagonists were heroes of the resistance during the Second World War and highly placed members of Romanian society. They clearly knew they would be caught and executed.Genre: ComedyActors: Vera Farmiga, Mark Strong, Harry Lloyd, Anton Lesser, Joe Armstrong, Christian McKay, Monica Barladeanu, Allan Corduner, Gwyneth Keyworth, John Henshaw, Darrell DSilva, ...»Director: Nae CaranfilCountry: United StatesDuration: 112 minQuality: HDRelease: 2014IMDb: 6.7Rating(0) Voted0 CommentsSort By- Newest

Critic Reviews of "Closer to the Moon"
New York TimesApril 16, 2015"Closer to the Moon" draws on many of the same facts that appear in "The Great Communist Bank Robbery," but in the service of a less adventurous movie with familiar Western actors, English-language dialogue and badly strained uplift.
New York ObserverApril 15, 2015From Romania, of all places, comes a breath of fresh air, far above the usual action film Hollywood keeps churning out with pointless abandon.
Epoch TimesMay 20, 2016All the major facts of Moon are historically accurate, but the reasons behind the events remain a bit murky. However, Caranfil's speculations are more than persuasive.
Times (UK)November 12, 2015It's always a pleasure to see Mark Strong in a lead role -- too often he's wasted as baddies and bosses. In Closer to the Moon he gets his most interesting part in a while.
Radio TimesNovember 12, 2015The story is so quintessentially Romanian, it had better been made in Romanian, with Romanian actors.
Empire MagazineNovember 12, 2015Caranfil's unlikely, odd little film is quietly moving - all the more so because it is true.
The ListNovember 09, 2015It has some moments that effectively convey the weirdness with which it deals; but for the most part it's a missed opportunity, marred by a lack of narrative conviction and tonal cohesion.
Under the RadarApril 24, 2015Closer to the Moon is an unremarkable reenactment of a remarkable story.
SSG SyndicateApril 20, 2015A provocative, darkly comedic, absurdist drama - based on a true story.
ReelTalk Movie ReviewsApril 19, 2015Although based on a true story, 'Closer to the Moon' comes across on screen as artificial and befuddling. However, quality production values make it easy on the eyes.
GuardianApril 17, 2015There are a lot of moving moments in this film, and it's to writer-director Nae Caranfil's credit that he's able to tease out the logic in this mostly enjoyable, if a little all-over-the-place, dark comedy.
The DissolveApril 15, 2015Caranfil, who's made several previous features in Romanian, struggles throughout to find the right tone, mostly in vain.
