Unique and interesting movie

Moon Manor (2021) was co-written and co-directed by Machete Bang Bang and Erin Granat.

James 'Jimmy' Carrozo plays himself. In the movie, Carrozo has decided to commit suicide because he's losing his memory. He wants to leave the world in his own way. H e invites his friends to a "fun"eral, and will take the medicines when he decides the time is right.

The plot of the movie is what happens on that evening. Many friends arrive, and there's also an uninvited guest. This as a non-human creature, but it's not Death.

This movie sounds strange, but I would prefer to call it unusual. It was interesting and well acted. I recommend it.

We saw Moon Manor virtually as part of ImageOut, the excellent Rochester LGBT film festival. It doesn't yet have enough ratings to be meaningful. I really liked it, and rated it 9.
