A Realistic Fantasy

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2018)

MOONRISE KINGDOM portrays the unfair reality of real life and the rawness of human emotion, within a fictional setting and unconventional design. Kingdom oozes entertainment, comedy and joy - it leaves you with a satisfied feeling, while still grounding you in reality. Anderson's contrast of gritty themes and quirky, classical and almost silly at times design is unique and gorgeous to admire. His genius seeps out of the film.
MOONRISE KINGDOM is wonderful for children and adults alike, reminding everyone of their humanity and love, in this innocent yet exciting and adventurous experience.
