'Moonrise Kingdom' is a coming of age film. The main characters are 12 or 13 and we follow their dysfunction as it springs into an adventure. The performances from the adolescents are amazing. Incredibly surprising and deep. It captures that one moment you felt growing up when you first discovered love and sexuality. For me this is Wes Anderson's best movie since 'Rushmore'. He has his voice back and he's using it to tell a simple story. All the characters are engaging, all the characters illicit an emotional response. We know everyone in the cast and we identify with them. And at the heart it's a love story. Regardless of all the quirkiness the story is about love, so were hooked from frame one.
Don't Miss It.
