Moonrise Kingdom 2012
Directed by Wes Anderson94 minComedy · Drama · Romance
Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle.

Wes Anderson has the most distinctive and recognisable style in all of film. It really is quite amazing. Moonrise Kingdom is probably one of his best films. The characters have more depth and are more interesting than I’ve found others to be in his other films I’ve seen.
Wes Anderson’s style looks amazing, it’s looks better than real life, everything is so colourful and perfect. Sometimes I find it to be a little much which is why I’m not a massive fan of his films but I can’t deny his films all look incredible.
I really liked this one, I did get a little bored at the end but that could just be because it’s 1pm and this is the 3rd film I’ve watched today. Also my friend was spam calling me through the ending while I was tryna watch it.
7.9/10
