About

You’ll likely enjoy Paper Moon if you like charming con stories with warm father-daughter dynamics and a Depression-era journey in black and white; Not for you if you want a straightforward, fully explained relationship or a more high-stakes crime ride like The Sting.

Pros: charming 70s road energy; great lead chemistry; vintage black-and-white vibe | Cons: truth stays unclear; ending feels low-key
