Moonrise Kingdom

leave a comment »

I have always been a big Wes Anderson fan, but Moonrise Kingdom is his best work by far. The visually stunning magical tale about young love left me on the edge of my seat with an ear to ear grin the entire film. I felt as if I had gone back in time to the small island off the coast of New England. As young Sam and Suzy run away together, chased by a troop of heavily armed Khaki scouts; they fall in love, and become inseparable. With such big names as Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzmen, and Tilda Swinson; as well as the two newcomers to the silver screen Kara Hayward and Jared Gilman. This Is a film for audiences of all ages, and has become my personal favorite film of all time.
