Al Fountain werkt als voorman van een aantal arbeiders om een grote machine in een gloednieuwe ruitenwisserfabriek te installeren. Hij is erg stijf in de omgang, en ontdekt per ongeluk dat de arbeiders hem niet mogen. Dan wordt de klus afgeblazen en mag iedereen met een bonus naar huis. Al belt zijn vrouw en kind en laat hen weten dat hij eerder thuiskomt. Hij gaat - zonder dit te zeggen - echter eerst nog op zoek naar 'Lake Splashy', een meer dat in de buurt zou moeten liggen en waar hij fijne jeugdherinneringen aan heeft... (Argus Film)

Feel good vibe movie about the fact that even a total jerk and pedant can be cool at the core, he just needs the right people (or their influence) around him. Box of Moon Light doesn't tell this eternal theme in any extremely sophisticated way, and it's quite slow at times, but Turturro's acting is superb and Rockwell just is and rocks in front of the camera as usual. A not very well-known film, which will certainly not spoil a movie night, but it won’t make big waves either.

Here we have a burnt-out man who spends most of his time being an engineer and is only interested in his work. He is drained, incapable of deeper emotions, and, due to excessive self-control and by being uptight, he is unable to share friendships with anyone and bitterly perceives his small popularity among colleagues. Then something happens that changes his previous life, and thanks to a chance encounter, he once again feels joy in life. Excellent performances by both main actors and a clever script are the main benefits of this unpretentious independent film. Overall impression: 90%. I feel close to the main character - hopefully not by our nature - but we do work in the same industry. :-)

Beautiful from beginning to end. I would love to write more, but it would be better if you watch it yourself. John Turturro is excellent and my favourite chameleon Sam Rockwell is (again) downright brilliant.

A very enjoyable film with an impeccable John Turturro and Sam Rockwell, who will hopefully play eccentrics for the rest of his life, as is the case here.
