Pink Moon (2022)

Pink Moon (2022). 1h 35m

“The official storyline of this film gives us a very clear idea of what to expect. Jan (74), apparently physically and mentally fit, tells his adult children that he wants to end his life after his next birthday because u0026quot;Iu0026#39;ve got enoughu0026quot;, and he wouldnu0026#39;t want to be a burden on the others later in life, or so he says. Iris, his daughter, is shocked and canu0026#39;t accept this, whereas her brother apparently adapts quite easily and business-like to the idea. Iris attempts to deal with the situation and the emotions she goes through are the center of the film. Julia Akkermans plays her character very well. Generally we see realistic and credible acting. The topic of the film is intriguing, well worth to be explored in this way, and the writing is realistic and credible as well. Also visually the film is well done if somewhat understated. So I recommend this film, even though I would have liked to see more development of the other characters and their way to deal with the situation. I call this u0026quot;a well done little filmu0026quot; and I wouldnu0026#39;t have complained about it being a bit u0026quot;biggeru0026quot; in the sense of showing more than just the story of Iris. 7.5 stars rounded up.”
