Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

Unlike pornography, it takes place in a recognizably real world. It is a much better film than "9 1/2 Weeks," which King wrote and produced. [2 May 1988, p.5]

Dave Kehr

A decent example of that strange new genre that has arisen to serve the home rental audience-a soft-core porn film directed primarily toward women. [29 Apr 1988, p.L] Read full review

Roger Ebert

The story is such a compilation of cliches that I hesitate to describe it, for fear of being taken for a satirist. Read full review

Empire Kim Newman

All pout and pose, with no spine to speak of; a beast with no back. Read full review

Gene Siskel

Director Zalman King has literally created a bad B-movie here, photographing breasts, buttocks and bubbleheads. The film is erotic until its first coupling; that's when we realize these dullard characters might as well be mannequins. Two Moon Junction deserves a genre all its own: very soft-core porn. [6 May 1988, p.A]

Walter Goodman

A breast-and-buttock show for the soft-porn set...What these repellent people have in common are their great chests and abundant hair. ''You excite me so much I can't help myself,'' says Perry. ''This has never happened to me before,'' says April. Read full review

When it comes right down to it, TWO MOON JUNCTION could be far, far worse than it is; but given the built-in limitations of this type of film, it can't be any better. Read full review

Probably the greatest love story of all time... Once in a while, a movie comes along which is just better than the rest. Two Moon Junction is such a movie. It’s the story of April, a beautiful, rich, privileged southern lady whose life looks perfect. Looks however, can be deceiving. WeProbably the greatest love story of all time... Once in a while, a movie comes along which is just better than the rest. Two Moon Junction is such a movie. It’s the story of April, a beautiful, rich, privileged southern lady whose life looks perfect. Looks however, can be deceiving. We quickly discover that April is oppressed by her friends and family who expect her to walk, talk and behave like a princess. The story of Two Moon Junction is the story of April’s struggle to break free of her oppression in favour of freedom and love. Released in the 1980s when woman were very much submissive to their male co-stars, Two Moon Junction was ahead of its time. April’s emotional journey sees her fight against the expectations placed on women back then to behave a certain way, a submissive way. It is an amazing journey not to be missed. Sherilyn Fenn’s performance as April is so real and powerful, you will be willing April on to take control of her life, and her family and her lovers. Fenn’s portrayal of April is quite simply the best you will see in a love story, as she makes you feel each and every one of April’s victories and defeats... Just the best movie ever!… Expand
