Beautifully rendered, sweet, and from someone who is just a few years younger than the characters, a dead-on representation of the culture of times. The movie portrays one boys imaginative look at the moon landing. The characters' hope in the future is endearing but the film, without being didactic, indicates how false the hope was and how hope was limited to a few. Even at 1.5hours it felt a little long. After a killer start, the next 20 minutes could have been 5 or 10 (it's basically a tour). But overall the film is effective and worth the watch at home.
