Moonrise Kingdom

It’s so Wes Anderson it’s almost TOO Wes Anderson. The only thing missing was a Wilson brother. Otherwise, the cast was amazing. Famous character actors drop in one right after the other, which helps prop up the main kids -- two new young actors, inexperienced, but trying their best. They don’t do a terrible job carrying the movie, but it’s still a relief when they cut back to Bruce Willis. I liked Darjeeling Limited more, maybe because the principals we’re closer to my age group. So I’m not saying I disliked this, I just had a little more trouble connecting emotionally to the circumstances, if that makes any sense. But it’s still very well designed in that precious and whimsical Wes Anderson style, a world of analogue color and nostalgia.
