Sadly what can you do when an Oscar winning, deservedly, actress works with a screenplay, actors, a director and even a music score that works against her?

“From the Land of the Moon” as a title makes even less sense than the movie, which took 2 screenwriters to adapt from a novel.

Marion Cotillard can either be crazy or a nymphomaniac or a crazy nymphomaniac or neither but it really doesn’t make a difference. She marries a man she tells she won’t have sex with and either has an affair with a gravely ill or doesn’t with the bottom line meaning nothing when the ‘great’ reveal comes at the end.

Marion Cotillard is always a joy to watch and if the 2-hour film had just eliminated everything, every character and just showed her it would have been worth seeing but no way can I recommend this film!
