Moonrise Kingdom-Sunsets Quickly *1/2

Rating: 3/10 (24 May 2013)

The characters, especially Frances McDormand and Bill Murray, as married attorneys, are so wooden and one-dimensional.
The film deals with two troubled young teens who run away and are pursued by the camp that the boy, an orphan, is attending. The girl's parents are McDormand and Murray, seemingly uncaring, cold and even hostile to the child and others.
McDormand is having a secret affair with police chief Bruce Willis, the latter giving a very restrained performance for him.
Even the great storm that hits is bland in comparison and a marriage scene between the two youngsters is utterly ridiculous, to say the least.
The Tilda Swinton character of a really uncaring by the book social service worker needed more development.
