Moon Manor

[Opens March 11 in theaters and on various VOD platforms.] When an Alzheimer's-afflicted, witty, 84-year-old gay man (James Carrozo) decides to commit suicide in order to die on his own terms in Erin Granat and Machete Bang Bang's quirky, factually inspired, strangely upbeat, poignant, well-acted, star-dotted (Heather Morris, Gayle Rankin, Whitmer Thomas, Sean Wing, Kit DeZolt, Akemi Look, and Cathy Chang), 103-minute, 2021 dark comedy, he invites an eclectic group of guests, including an assisted suicide doula (Debra Wilson), his estranged brother (Richard Riehle), his down-to-earth caretaker (Reshma Gajjar), an obituary writer (Lou Taylor Pucci), longtime friends (Cullen G. Chambers and Ricki Lake), and two zealous religious evangelists (Richard Riehle and Galen Howard) who oppose his choice, to a "fun"eral celebration on the last day of his crazy, well-lived life.
