New Moon

Fantasy (2h 10min) Release date : 20/11/2009

Dir. Chris Weitz
Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson

Watch trailer

Rating :

Review by Leo Robson : 'New Moon suffers from a mild case of second-chapter syndrome; symptoms include the laborious establishing of conflicts, a general air of drift and pointlessness, and a cliffhanger ending. An unappealing formula, but oddly effective. I look forward to the next one.'
