About this movie

Moonrise Kingdom is the new movie directed by two-time Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Rushmore). Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore -- and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in every which way. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff, Captain Sharp. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader, Scout Master Ward. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bishop. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Bob Balaban; and introduces Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as Sam and Suzy, the boy and girl.

Quirky, surreal, enchanting - that's all you need to know. Needs to be minimum 100 words, so: Nulla pharetra lacus eu porttitor auctor. Sed luctus, massa id suscipit porta, nisl enim fermentum magna, id ultrices felis tellus nec ligula. Morbi nec lectus et nibh euismod euismod. Sed pretium sapien nec luctus fringilla. Nullam iaculis ultricies tempor. Fusce suscipit ac velit ac malesuada. Phasellus magna enim, consectetur sed maximus nec, rutrum eget sapien. Cras magna magna, feugiat a commodo ut, vestibulum et quam. Nam non elementum ex, pulvinar porta justo. Donec tincidunt tristique magna sed maximus. Suspendisse consequat rutrum nunc in vestibulum. Curabitur id quam volutpat, vestibulum arcu et, volutpat turpis.

If I could give this 4.5/5 I would as I do not think this is Wes Anderson's best film, but it is worth more than 8/10. The quirkiness in storyline, music and characters, which are all well acted as usual, are all typically Wes Anderson. Each of his films are recognisable as his and yet each is individual and fresh, and that is a rare feat.

Witty, cute, funny, stylish - everything you've come to expect from the man. Boasts an impressive cast too, playing roles you won't have seen them in before.
