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
