Jake Gyllenhaal delivers in Moonlight Mile
Being "engaged" is a weird and confusing state of being. Not dating but not married, committed but not legally committed, family with the in-laws but not quite family, it's a time of flux, a time when a whole lot of pressure is put on both potential bride and potential groom. Those pressures build... Read full review »
Caring Enough To Cry Is Reason Enough To Smile. 'Moonlight Mile'
Brad Silberling is something of an odd duck really. He's hard to put your finger on. He's directed some decent television, and then again, some that was horrible (anyone recall 'Cop Rock'?). He's also directed a few movies. He directed 'Casper', but who cares? He also directed 'City of...

Moonlight Mile DVD
Starring Jake Gyllenhaal Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon MOONLIGHT MILE is a romantic drama set in 1966. Joe Gyllenhaal is grieving over the death of his fiancee Diana and is living with her parents Ben Hoffman and JoJo Sarandon. Though Joe just wants to do what's right he openly admits that he has no plan no answers and needs time to sort things out. Meanwhile Ben and JoJo cling to him as their only hope after losing their daughter and the rest of the world expects him to bounce back into dating without a moment's pause. Joe's awkwardness and unquenchable efforts to be helpful provide for some touching and softly comedic moments. The New England setting of the film the '60s cars and clothes and the excellent soundtrack Sly The Family Stone T-Rex Bob Dylan provide enough atmosphere to move this emotional story right along. But it isn't until Joe meets another woman Ellen Pompeo who also lost someone she loved that he regains hope and begins to be true to himself and to the people around him.

Moonlight Mile [VHS]
For anyone who has lost a loved one, Moonlight Mile will ring true with heartfelt emotion. Like the characters in this well-acted film, writer-director Brad Silberling confronted death when his girlfriend, actress Rebecca Schaeffer, was murdered in 1989. That tragedy gives Moonlight Mile its mournful authenticity, beginning in 1973 after the killing of a young woman whose fiancé, Joe (Jake Gyllenhaal), is living with her grieving parents (Dustin Hoffman, Susan Sarandon) while contemplating his uncertain future. The film is occasionally sidetracked by Hollywood slickness, but Silberling (who scored box-office hits with Casper and City of Angels) gets the emotional details exactly right, and a potentially formulaic romance between Joe and a local girl (superbly played by newcomer Ellen Pompeo) feels like a natural step toward recovery. Holly Hunter plays a small but pivotal role, and while Moonlight Mile lacks the gravity of the dramatically similar In the Bedroom, it springs from the same source of compassionate understanding. --Jeff Shannon
