Moonrise Kingdom



Moonrise Kingdom, 2012. Two kids run away together.

Directed by Wes Anderson. Written by Anderson & Roman Coppola. Starring Jared Gilman & Kara Hayward.

Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 3/4 (Good)
Characters: 4/4 (Great)
Dialog: 4/4 (Great)
Pacing: 4/4 (Great). Great as far as the story on hand is concerned. However, there are a lot of great supporting characters who don't get nearly enough screen time to do them justice. There could be entire movies about most of them.
Cinematography: 4/4 (Great)
Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites, 4/4 5/4). Anderson's best movie. It's kind of like the ideas from his earlier stuff is filtered through Fantastic Mr. Fox's cartoony-ness, ending up with the best of both worlds.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.7/4 3.8/4 (Great)
