Reviews
"In the Shadow of the Moon finds new resonance in the moment when America redefined progress -- but also when it heeded the siren song of a world so desolate it reminded you what a paradise ours truly is."
- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"By turns awe-inspiring and deeply human."
- Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide
"These astronauts are still alive, but as long as mankind survives, their journeys will be seen as the turning point -- to what, it is still to be seen."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"It's both irrefutably concrete and irresistibly uplifting."
- Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun
"Quite simply, a revelation."
- Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
