Great cast gone bad.

Rating: 4/10 (6 June 2012)

I still don't know exactly what to think of this movie. It is quite exceptional in the sense that the story telling won't suffer any kind of repression, where anything is possible within their own reality. It feels like watching a play that suddenly expands physically, crossing the stage border to elope into the wild and taking the audience with it. However, the whole experience may take its toll and the anxiety for an immediate break becomes a little hard to bear.
"Moonrise Kingdom" is weird and the wonderful cast looks like a reward for having your time and attention. It is technically not long, but it feels like forever. The start is very fresh, but once you dive into the film, every minute lingers on through long dialogues that, if not adequate, make the characters sound like they're all stoned. The story line, however, can be uplifting where the main two characters prove that happiness is something to conquer and not delivered by mail. It's like a taste that you can't quite describe, but don't let my apparent cynicism stop you from experiencing it yourself
