Summer escapement


Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

Directed by Wes Anderson this film stars Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray and Frances McDormand. In 1965 on an island in New England a 12 year boy runs away from Scout camp along with one of the local girls.

As with all of his other films this film showcases Wes Anderson's off beat style nicely and it really fits well with the innocent, youthful perspective of the story. The plot really captures both the essence of childhood summer holidays where anything could be possible and the nature of young romances. Having two unknown child actors in the lead is often a gamble but works well here and the supporting cast is a collection of great actors as well.

5/5
