Ranking The World's Highest Paid Actresses By Their Debut Film Roles

Bringing a film to life is a process that involves 100s of people and The Man in the Moon is what happens when every single of them does their job perfectly. There’s not a bad, out of place or shoddily-written moment, and from the setting to the debut performance of Reese Witherspoon, this film is incredible.

Set on a farm in the 1950s, The Man in the Moon explores the character of Dani and her emergence into womanhood with all the idealism, heartbreak and discovery that it ensures. Witherspoon pulls off the role with wide eyed naivety and perfectly captures the fragile and complex beauty of growing up.
