One of the few films I've seen where the cinema audience laughed aloud. It gave me the feeling of huge adventure within a small safe area that I felt when I was a child exploring the park & neighbourhood where I lived. I loved the autonomy and small areas of leadership within the scouts as that also matched my scouting experiences. I did waver a little during the lightning scene but as a piece, I loved this film.

Not exactly a stylistic jump for Anderson but it's a refinement of his style - darkly humorous, fantastic framing/use of music/casting. It's nice to see Anderson develop his skills from his experience with Fantastic Mr. Fox - interesting stop-motion work and some impressively stylish practical effects. I especially enjoyed the performance of Bruce Willis - it's very different and it pays off well - although Anderson always gets good performances out of everyone - even his younger leads.

masal dunyasinda gecen bir ilk ask hikayesi.yaratilan evreni her ne kadar takdir etsem de hikayenin ayrintilarla zenginlestirilemedigini dusunuyorum.sonlara dogru gereksiz bir aksiyon var ve bu durum yonetmenin sakinligini ve kontrolunu yitirmesine yol acmis.karakterlerin detaylandirilmasi yetersiz.ayrıca muzik kullanimi cok abartili.bence vasat.

Where Anderson's earlier work enthralled and dazzled me, this merely impressed. Although perhaps at the cost of the freshness of novelty, the look of this film is perhaps the most coherent yet. It did have a powerful sense of the wonder of a child exploring the world - I would have loved to have been on this island at 12. Bad sound mix though.

A wonderful cast, beautifully photographed and another brilliant musical score from Mark Mothersbaugh; "Moonrise Kingdom" has Anderson stamped all over it. The young leads are probably the movies highlight, but the experienced support cast all thrive within Anderson's style. The whole storm scene in particular is close to perfection. Some will complain there's not enough new from Wes here, but they should've watched the trailer and known not to bother. A completely charming gem from Anderson.

You have to admire everything about this film. Anderson's vigorously consume every cinematic possibility within his style. It's not refreshing, because he's done that with all his other film, but this time it seems as if it might work this time. The reason why i'm not head over heels with this film is the due to the fact that I didn't find it nearly as funny as "... Mr Fox" - the characters just aren't there.(I would like to note, though, that I saw the film with a boring french audience.)

"For the first 15 minutes or so, Moonrise Kingdom feels like the movie Wes Anderson's detractors have always accused him of churning out. Then it finds its footing and becomes a film that only Anderson could have made." - Andrew Schenker
