Moonrise Kingdom (2012)



A pair of young lovers flee their New England town, which causes a local search party to fan out to find them.

An endearing tale which does have its moments, but is made in the director's usual overladen and stilted style; the strings fiddling the star cast are almost invisible.

Maltin**1/2: "Arch and precious, even by Wes Anderson standards, this period fable threatens to suffocate from self-awareness and visual detail. Rescued somewhat by its sheer originality and a game cast."
