Evil spirits will judge Ryan Stevens Harris to be an odd father to inflict such an ordeal on his own daughter. A discerning eye will at first defuse any threat of future trauma for the very young actress, and delight in the treasures of imagination revealed on screen in a formal kaleidoscope that is the work of an alchemist. Shot with 35mm film scraps and lenses from another era, with a carnivalesque art direction cobbled together with passion, and creatures embodied with all the necessary excess, Moon Garden is carried away by unconditional faith in its story and its youthful star. It's an ideal of cinema, between the experimental and the linear, between the bis and the auteur vision.
