Not everyone's movie, but a good one

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2013)

"Moonrise Kingdom" isn't for everybody, it's not one of those dumbed down children's comedies with elements of mini-tragedy - "The Hobbit", "How to Train Your Dragon", etc. It's like the old ones I used to watch when I was a kid - the film quality, the soundtrack and the rest of the atmosphere were nostalgic (reminded a bit of the original "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" movie), but the content is much more mature and darker.
This is not a film that's likely to leave a deep impact; like American Beauty and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind did to me. Yet I believe in a couple of decades I'll have a nostalgic urge to watch it again. And it doesn't mean I'm not gonna watch it again tomorrow. Not at all.
