Ratings and reviews

The Light of the Moon" is an AMAZING film about the struggles of survival after sexual trauma. It's an admirable film that I know firmly believe more people should watch, because it is a sensitive, honest and emotional exploration of the life of someone who has gone through something so traumatic. I feel like this film did a great job at telling the story, because many people who go through this simply don't want to talk about it, but it doesn't mean they have nothing to say. Stephanie Beatriz is what made this film so great! Her performance was outstanding; I almost forgot that I was watching a movie.

A very great movie . You will never get lost watching it . Apparently, the film raises awareness among women to be alert and careful from the preying and heartless men . As a brother of three sisters , the movie moved my emotions upside down and made me feel very sad for the ugly sexual abuse that women experience . I hope that THE LIGHT OF THE MOON will lighten the vision of women to be alert and will tell vicious men JAIL is your future.
