It's all in the presentation!

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2013)

I saw this film shortly after watching Perks of Being a Wallflower and Silver Lining's Playbook. The other two movies were much hyped about (unnecessarily so, if I may add). Moonrise Kingdom, on the other hand, has to be one of the most under-rated movies ever. With a very interesting cast, a unique soundtrack and a story line that epitomizes simplicity, Moonrise Kingdom presents "young romance" like never presented before. What stood out for me the most, was the dialogue of the movie. One would expect normal lovers to converse in flowery confessions. Haunting, uncomfortable and dark: these are the words I would use to describe the conversations between the two leads of the movie. Despite the darkness of the movie, it was not short on humor. All in all, this movie has everything that a good movie should! Highly recommended to any movie fanatic. You're sure to enjoy it :)
