Trivia

The original title of the film was "Baby's in Black" named after The Beatles' song. But the producers found it too expensive to obtain the rights to use the song. So the film was renamed "Moonlight Mile" after a lesser-known tune by The Rolling Stones. See more »

Surprisingly good indie with an amazing cast
4 July 2005 | by See all my reviews

When I first started watching this movie I was a bit confused. I had expected some drama and romance, but instead it looked like a comedy! But when I kept watching, I realised I was wrong, although I have to admit that the first half an hour is rather comedy than drama.

Anyway, "Moonlight Mile" is highly enjoyable. What exactly makes this movie so great? It's the acting. The cast is outstanding. Susan Sarandon and Dustin Hoffman are truly amazing as always. Jake Gyllenhaal, who we know from "Donnie Darko", was excellent as well. But, like I already said, Hoffman and Sarandon are the true stars in this one. They were both so funny from time to time! "Moonlight Mile" is definitely worth watching! A true indie with great performances!

8/10
