Waiting for the Moon

While playing fast and loose with chronology, director Jill Godmilow offers a fascinating character study of author Gertrude Stein (Linda Bassett) and her companion, Alice B. Toklas (Linda Hunt). Occurring over the course of the summer of 1936, the film follows the pair in their French country home and Paris apartment as they play host to such guests as Hemingway and Apollinaire. With Andrew McCarthy, Bruce McGill. 101 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
