One of the best vampire movies l have seen in many many moons.
A visually impressive coming-of-age/dark fantasy film with truly breathtaking landscapes, bringing a pretty unconventional take on the vampire genre. It's a quiet exploration of what it means to be alive and growing old, seen through the eyes of an orphan girl who's still learning to live with limitations, with a leading performance that is simply wonderful. It moves quite slow but I like how subtle the story unfolds. It helps me to become fully immersed in their world, accompanied by a solid score. The horror aspects of this are really cool but perhaps leave a little to be desired with the effects. Still a great watch for anyone who's into dark fantasy.
Our image of a vampire is simple: A frightening figure all in black with fanged teeth and a thirst for blood. If you cross one’s path, don’t expect to live. Their image has made it hard not to consider them monsters. Even just by looking at Bela Lugosi’s depiction of Dracula, that isn’t someone you could consider one of the bros and take out for a beer. (Being one of the iconic “Universal Monsters” doesn’t help, either.) But what if vampire films could be tear-jerkers with sympathetic depictions of vampires fighting to regain their mortality? That’s exactly what Igor Legarreta does. A film about destiny and found family, All the Moons doesn’t stick to stereotypes in its narrative centering around…
This movie is absolutely gorgeous. What the camera captures is sumptuous, beautiful, haunting. Make no mistake (this is no spoiler, it’s within the first 5 minutes), this is a vampire tale but it’s a drama. This movie is art. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it. The score matched everything else. Haizea Carneros is a revelation. To pull off what is expected of her, is mind blowing. This girl is young as hell and she shoulders the bulk of this very adult, very mature movie. I can see this not working for some but this was the movie that I didn’t know I wanted. I loved this dark fairy tale. This is a masterpiece.
A very cozy, nicely atmospheric period drama with touches of horror (a curse that empties people of their blood and grant them eternal life — but they can’t be touched by sunlight) and a strong Basque-speaking cast.
The film is well-crafted, looks gorgeous, shines with its beautiful score… but All the Moons is too polished and lacks edge and boldness. The mise-en-scène isn’t flawed per se but a more daring montage and rougher scenes would have turned this "good" movie into a "very good" one.
similar to Guillermo Del Toro’s films — largely The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth — in its approach to coming of age, history and abject terror, resulting in something akin to a fairy tale by way of vampirism; a rather beautiful slow burn even if it’s a hair too long

All the Moons is a beautifully shot, dark fairy tale. It doesn’t really go for the typical vampire movie tropes, and it even puts its own twist on some of the traditional vampire lore. It's a gentle, atmospheric vampire story that isn’t really interested in fangs or bites on the neck - instead it lures the viewers in with warm, heartfelt moments, and wants to show its lead character rediscovering life and family after losing everything. Easily one of my favorites of the festival!
This film is so beautiful. I thought I was watching a horror film and then I just got given two hours of beauty. I'll take it. The Banshees of Inisherin is more a horror film than this, just so nobody is disappointed. And I'm glad; it's a rare film where I actually hope it never horrifies. The characters, the cinematography, it's all just lovely. This was my first Basque film as far as I know. And the plot was a new plot for me. That's always a plus.
And what a performance from Haizea Carneros. God I hope she keeps acting and doesn't just do a child actress thing.
I'm kind of speechless from this film. Strongly recommended.
You know what I give up I'm giving this five stars. I might as well use that rating for something like this.

Let the Right One In as directed by Terrence Mallick influenced by A24 is an apt description. This is a gorgeously photographed, languidly paced film that lulls the viewer into a dreamlike state.
This is less horror and more fantasy drama if it fits a genre (and you can tag it with historical fiction if you wish).
Ultimately, I found this to be an examination of the acceptance of death as a natural part of life. It actually chastises those holding on to loved ones beyond their time as a selfish act.
It’s beautiful and poignant and not for those looking for a straight up horror.
Artful; atmospheric; different; haunting; interesting; sad; slow; thought-provoking; well-shot.
It is a fairy tale with dirt under its nails.
If you expect momentum, it will feel slow. If you allow immersion, it becomes hypnotic.
Falls in with directors like Guillermo del Toro, Robert Eggers, Rainer Sarnet, Jean-Pierre, and Luc Dardenne.
It’s not cinema you consume.
It’s cinema you enter.
Starts off simply enough, as if it were to play like a bedtime story. But I think that's also where All the Moons brings out something more haunting in turn: it's a movie built around the way that we're perceiving children believe the monsters all around them exist. By boxing us into such a position, we're made to grapple with their understanding of the world, and with the film's setting during the last Carlist war, it feels like a form of reckoning. It's a form of reckoning with how children understood their world during a time of war, which makes for a very fascinating piece of vampire lore – even creating a more haunting atmosphere in turn.
Kind of stunned…
