The following review is spoiler free and is
meant to be read BEFORE seeing the movie.
Wes
Anderson has fully recovered from the debacle that was The Darjeeling Limited
and produced a movie that is flawless from start to finish. Every little moment
of this movie is delightful and fun. It is filled with whimsy, even when
discussing or alluding to the less-than-pleasant aspects of being children,
such as bullying or overbearing parents (or parents who are no longer in the
picture).
Sam
Shakuski escapes from his Khaki Scout camp, leaving Scout Master Ward puzzled.
Soon the scouts and the local police captain set out to find him. Soon they discover
that he planned his escape in order to rendezvous with Suzy Bishop, a troubled
young girl.
Moonrise
Kingdom is a preteen love story about two troubled souls who find a common
bond. Their love story is told so uniquely and interestingly, when one would
think that there were no more ways left to tell a love story. I was enraptured
by the tale of how these two fell in love and how far they would go to stay
together.
There
is not a bad moment in Moonrise Kingdom. I’m not saying that this movie is
great simply because there is nothing bad in it; there is naught but whimsical
entertainment in Moonrise Kingdom, a movie filled with magic, sunshine, and
happiness. It even has a Goddamn kitten in a wicker box!
