Alabama Moon is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Alabama Moon moves fast and earns its action sequences rather than just delivering them. After the unexpected death of his survivalist father, an eleven year old boy raised in the Alabama wilderness must learn how to make a home in the modern world. John Goodman and Jimmy Bennett lead a cast that earns every set piece rather than just filling it. Alabama Moon came out in 2009. The geography of every set piece in Alabama Moon is legible, which is rarer in the genre than it should be. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Alabama Moon is the kind of thing you put on to unwind and find yourself sitting forward twenty minutes in. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. John Goodman anchors the chaos with real screen presence. Every set piece here is doing more than one job at once.

Alabama Moon was released in 2009, directed by Tim McCanlies. The full 99-minute film is available to watch now.
