It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The title sounds attractive. but "Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon" proves to be a rather disappointing venture from director Otto Preminger (who also produced) and his lovely star, Liza Minnelli. Although Leonard Maltin gives the film a good review, I was very disappointed. True, there are the usual Preminger touches such as location filming in long takes (although camera movement is much less fluid that usual), the players seem to have been left to fend for themselves. Robert Moore, for instance, gives far too bold a performance, forcing the other players to follow suit and over act to keep up with him. The theme is not exactly conducive to happy days in entertainment and Preminger's treatment is so weighty and ponderous as to squash whatever life was left in the script.The fact that it's all so blatantly "sincere" does not save the movie from exploitive repulsiveness on the one hand, dullness on the other!

Since I found out today that Pete Seeger died, I have been watching much of his work here on the internet. Earlier today, I watched a couple of his short films on Internet Archive. Now, I just watched this obscure major studio feature film from 1970 in which he appeared at the beginning and end singing the film's theme, "Old Devil Time". Those were his only appearances. The movie proper concerns the title character (Liza Minnelli) whose face is scarred and her friendship with a paraplegic (Robert Moore) and an epileptic (Ken Howard). I admit to being partially confused by much of the beginning especially when they did flashbacks and dream sequences. But, by the time they went on vacation, I was glad I stayed in viewing this. There are quite some funny and touching moments in those vacation scenes. It's too bad it's not available on DVD. I managed to watch this on YouTube. Directed by Otto Preminger and written by Marjorie Kellogg from her novel. So on that note, I recommend Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon. R.I.P. Mr. Seeger

Junie Moon is an interesting friendship movie. Great unusual characters that band together and help each other. Junie becomes terribly disfigured from a mean man. She finds herself relying on other people with there own special problems. The characters will grow on you. Good acting, directing, and decent sets. It has been years since I saw it at the theater. I still have never forgot it because of the types of people and how they dealt with their personal problems. I would definitely buy it if it was available on DVD. Not appropriate for young children. Some adult situations. To bad it isn't out on video of any kind. Until it is check out "The Station Manager", another great unusual friendship movie.

I've heard about this movie for years, and now that I've finally seen it, I'm not sure what I think about it. The movie starts with a disturbing sequence in which Junie Moon (Liza Minelli)throws herself at an obviously disturbed man, who *spoiler alert* knocks her down and pours battery acid on her face. She ends up in the hospital and makes friends with a homosexual man who is mysteriously crippled(Robert Moore) and a man with epilepsy(Ken Howard). The story is rather silly, and Howard's portrayal of an epileptic is not totally realistic (and I should know, I have epilepsy). His seizures seem real, but he would not likely recover so quickly. I'm not sure the point of the whole thing, but I'm glad I've finally seen it.
