A Brilliantly Witty Film

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2013)

This movie has an excellent quirky style , which is one of Wes Anderson's signatures. Moonrise Kingdom has a familiar base story but is done in such a great way. It shows love between two characters who couldn't fit in with their groups but feel good with each other. The story may take some time to pick up but when it does it becomes what I expected and even better. The story is set in the 60's and they use certain things to create certain moods to scenes. Each scene is also very detailed and I could tell this is probably exactly what Wes envisioned when this was just only an idea. The actors who play the main characters seem like they don't have professional training but their acting is perfect for this film. They just fit well with who the characters are and basically become them. The other cast members also do an excellent job and some of the most memorable were Ed Norton and Bruce Willis and many others. I personally enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would and I really loved the dialog between characters and also the images he created with the great camera work the most from this film.
I personally would recommend Moonrise Kingdom to anyone and I will make sure to recommend Wes Anderson's other film also.
Verdict: 8.5/10
