Loss is something that we’ve all dealt with. It’s one of the reasons so many films deal with the topic, as it’s one that anybody can relate to. And yet, it’s hard to imagine a single film with such a real connection to that theme. The story was written by somebody who knew they were dying, who had something very specific to say about how she wanted her family to move forward. Usually, movies deal with their themes in very general ways in order to be able to relate to the widest possible audience. And while many likely will be able to relate to Over the Moon, it’s message is very specific, and all the more emotional.
