someone was nostalgic about his/her childhood

Rating: 5/10 (5 October 2014)

While watching Moonrise Kingdom, i had the feeling that the person who wrote it (or envisioned it) was actually nostalgic about his/her childhood. Because, despite all insecurities and difficulties portrayed, there has been a layer sweet melancholy beneath. As if the author wanted to go back to those years and relive them and not necessarily change them.
The cast is just fine and the plot will keep you going, but if i'd need to retell the story i probably wouldn't be able to. I would only say that it is a story about growing up in a time that was harmless in comparison to today's circumstances.
Moonrise Kingdom is a nice pastime, but neither a masterpiece nor a must-see.
