It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

View MoreMoonrise Kingdom is directed by Wes Anderson and follows the journey of two children in 1965 on an island off the coast of New England. Anderson's unique style works incredibly well in this film, and that's thanks to perfect casting. The two leads being Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward give such captivating performances through their impressive line delivery. It would be very easy for this story to feel slow and disinteresting, but each cast member truly brings the script to life in the most entertaining way. As usual, this Wes Anderson film contains stunning cinematography and striking visuals through his use of pastel colours and artistic sets. The film also utilises music in such a great way, specifically in one iconic scene which contains a fantastic French song. For a risky style which is very prone to the notion of hit or miss, I truly believe Moonrise Kingdom hits the mark in every area. From plot to film making I cannot fault this quirky masterpiece. Moonrise Kingdom ticks every box for me so therefore I give it a 10.
View MoreMoonrise Kingdom, directed by Wes Anderson, is a beautifully shot and acted movie about self-discovery and acceptance. Mr. Anderson is a critically acclaimed director who was nominated for six Academy awards and won numerous other awards, including the BAFTA award for The Grand Budapest Hotel. Moonrise Kingdom, nominated for best original screenplay, stars two 12 year olds, finding their bearings among a small island community. They run away to be with each other; escaping those who misunderstand them. The theme of freedom and self-discovery shows in a scene where the two kids, Suzy and Sam, finally reach their destination: a beach they name Moonrise Kingdom. There, they remove their clothes and jump into the water, representing washing away what they used to be and becoming who they want to be. After this, they seem to open up more, dancing and even just enjoying each other's company. This supports the concepts presented because until this scene, they were running from everyone unable to fully relax, but here they can be themselves. The plot succeeds with the main focus, Suzy and Sam. The chemistry between the characters is believable and sweet, because they are very serious about each other. For example we learn they were pen pals and over the course of the letters they bonded over shared experiences. Their relationship seems odd, but not to them. Both act mature for their age; perhaps because they are outsiders in some way, Sam is an orphan and Suzy is seen as a "troubled child". The part of the plot that didn't work for me were the scenes with a narrator. Neither the narration nor the narrator have a real purpose and don't reveal anything the viewer could not figure out on their own. It sucked me out of the story and didn't really seem to fit. The acting also plays a big part in successes of the plot. The dialog between the main characters doesn't always sound natural, but it contributes to the atmosphere of the film. The characters do not talk as a normal child would, with lots of emotion and without much thought, but speak in a withdrawn and calculated way. The cinematography is excellent: each shot appears carefully planned. A visual theme that particularly caught my attention is the repeated use of binoculars, conveying Suzy as someone who is watching others from the outside, isolating herself. A tracking shot through Suzy's house conveys the separation of the family. In summary, this is an excellent film and a must-see for viewers who enjoy an endearing journey with engaging visual storytelling.

View MoreI've got to be honest - I just don't get the appeal of Wes Anderson's films. Quite how 'Moonrise Kingdom' and the more recent 'Grand Budapest Hotel' films are so widely popular I will never know. I would have thought that such oddball films would only appeal to a certain group of people, but it seems that the majority of viewers seem to either like or love Anderson's bizarre, random creations.'Moonrise Kingdom' is an unexplainable film. The only way I can describe it is as a weird mishmash of adventure, drama, comedy and romance with a very weird and very shallow plot. One of the main problems I have with Anderson's films is how much emphasis is placed on style and visuals. It seems like more thought goes into the camera movements in his films than the actual plot. It comes down to personal taste of course, but I'm not a fan.
