I didn't see a chunk of it, so I think I missed something.

Then you should re-watch it. Danny is talking to her sister and they talk about when they were little, and they told their problems to 'the man in the moon.'

I think the Man in the moon is God.

Yes, I am not really surprised so many people miss this message of the story, though it is subtle.
A true existential movie.
The movie begins and ends with key essential conversations between the sisters on the porch.

At last, a decent question on this forum.

I am curious as well to learn if there is a meaning behind the movie title. I slightly comprehend the discussion with Danielle and Maureen, but I want more information provided to validate.
