  • Paper Moon 1973

    ★★★★½ Watched 05 Dec, 2012

    I watched Paper Moon not knowing what to expect, and ended up falling in love with it. Ryan O'Neal and Tatum O'Neal (the youngest person to ever win an Oscar for her role here) both give beautiful performances, their characters are so well-written and their interactions are a joy to watch. The movie itself is realistic, funny, and sweet, with warm black-and-white visuals and excellent direction from Peter Bogdanovich. Fantastic film that adds to my growing love of 1970's movies.
