StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
cricketbat Moonrise Kingdom may be too quirky for some people's tastes, but I found it endearing and entertaining. The filmmaking is definitely that of Wes Anderson, complete with sharp, witty dialogue and interesting sets and shots. It's not Anderson's best work, but it captures young love in a way that not many people have in film.
rainabosniac I loved the aesthetic of this film. The directing was amazing. But those two best parts of the film were also its worst. In some way, it was too good. Too good to be true. But it was realistic. There was something very wrong with this movie, though I can't put my finger on it.The characters had no depth to them, but that was expected from a film made for a preteen audience. It also looked like it was shot by a twelve year old, but that didn't bother me at all. Everything regarding this film wanted you to think "twelve year olds". The film left me a bit melancholic, never having experienced something like that. Surprisingly, this was Wes Anderson's first movie I ever watched, but that may be something very bad, my expectations for his other movies now being very high indeed.
treborquest Watched this movie in 2018, after watching other movies by Wes Anderson. I love The Grand Budapest Hotel and maybe I shouldn't compare, but this movie just left me.... kinda... meh. I don't know what it was, except that the acting seemed more like a parody to something than actually meant to be slightly over the top on purpose. Besides that, the whole story is too thin. I doesn't really grab you and invite you in for more. Some images are visually stunning. Especially the end on the church tower I thought looked beautiful. But in the end, it was just boring and couldn't keep my attention.
merelyaninnuendo Moonrise KingdomAs always, the symmetrical world works like a charm and makers being aware of it smartly swoops it in when attempting to advance the plotline further that may not come intriguing enough to invest in it. Roman Coppola and Wes Anderson's screenplay is fresh and gripping that stays true to its tone and addition to that the execution still surpasses the crispy yet mellow script. Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward; the young actors, are giving their best in and are supported by a great cast like Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand and Edward Norton. Moonrise Kingdom is an authentic love story told in an amusing yet thought provoking way that easily connects with the audience through its innocent pragmatic characters and the bubble they reside in.
