Description:
After fifteen years of marriage, an affluent couple divorce and take up with new partners.
Amazon.com:
Two big-scaled performances fuel this bleak study of a marriage falling apart, a look at how two intelligent, civilized people can become children again when it comes to divorce. Albert Finney is a blustering writer who's found a younger woman (Karen Allen); Diane Keaton is the bewildered wife who falls into the arms of a younger man (Peter Weller), a contractor around the house. This might be comedy rather than tragedy were it not for the presence of the couple's three daughters, the oldest of whom (Dana Hill) holds a particular grudge against her father. This material was considered something of a change of pace for director Alan Parker, who'd worked in a slicker, noisier vein before (Midnight Express and Fame, for instance). Actually, Parker brings his usual over-determined approach, so the feel of the film is closer to a beautifully staged TV commercial than a searing Ingmar Bergman movie. Bo Goldman's script is heartfelt, but there doesn't seem to be much going on beneath the surface of this familiar saga. The performances by Finney and Keaton are expert, chivvying in whatever subtlety they can manage within Parker's overbearing world. The ending almost feels like a throwback to a certain strain of 1960s British cinema, and certainly doesn't let anybody--including the viewer--off the hook. --Robert Horton

I was waiting for this film to come out on DVD. It's an exceptional movie with one of the finest performances by an adolescent that you will ever see.
Albert Finney and Diane Keaton star as the Dunlaps, a successful Marin County-living couple whose marriage falls apart. Dana Hill portrays Sherry, the oldest of their four daughters (a very young Tracey Gold, Tina Yothers and Viveka Davis round out the other children).
Sherry is old enough to see what is happening, but too ... Read More

I love this movie! It was an enjoyable and wonderful commentary on a family torn asunder.

Director Alan Parker squeezed out this underrated 1982 gem about the bitter disintegration of a marriage in between his higher-profile films "Fame" and "Pink Floyd's The Wall", but for some inexplicable reason, it did not see light of day on DVD until late 2007. The film does have its detractors; some have dismissed it as a somewhat shrill and shallow exercise. Granted, Bo Goldman's script does scrimp on character's motivations at times, but the performances, particularly from Albert Finney and Diane ... Read More

Shoot The Moon is an excellent film about a family divorcing. Albert Finney has put his marriage under great stress. Karen Allen is wonderful as his girlfriend. The performances of Diane Keaton, Dana Hill and the other 3 daughters are absolutely out of this world. A real sleeper of a movie with a fine cast all around including Peter Weller. A must watch about a family breaking up.

George and Faith Dunlap are getting a divorce. This mostly affects George, Faith, and their eldest daughter. George's new love interest,with whom he now resides, tells George that if he doesn't work out, she will go on to find someone who will. Faith's new love interest, the creator of a tennis court that is being developed on the sprawling Dunlap family property during the whole film, seems quite taken by Faith, yet seems to be a survivor of the school of hard knocks, even at a relatively youthful age, ...
