Moonrise Kingdom Movie Review
Starting with dream-like visual thanks to the bright color pallet, quick filming style and framing, Moonrise Kingdom is the latest movie to come from the strange world of Wes Anderson that should delight fans and most newcomers to his work.
On the New England island of New Penzance, this quirky 1965 adventure tells the story of two 12-year-olds, orphan Sam Shakusky (Jared Gilman) and the troubled Suzy Bishop (Kara Hayward), two runaways who try to escape their dysfunctional lives. As their friendship and romance starts to bloom the island’s police chief, Captain Sharp (Bruce Willis) leads a search with Scout Master Ward (Edward Norton), Suzy’s lawyers parents (Bill Murphy and Frances McDormand), and a troop of boy scouts to find the wayward youths as the movie becomes more and more surreal and provides plenty of what the hell moments.
