Movie Review - Moonrise Kingdom

Saturday evening, I went to see Moonrise Kingdom with my best pal.  I had already decided I was going to love it before I even saw it because I fell in love with the preview and the images from the movie.  Fortunately, I was not disappointed :)

The story is set in the 60's off the coast of New England (always a favorite setting for me, since I AM a New Englander ;-).  It tells the tale of Sam and Suzy, two quirky twelve year olds who meet, fall in love and make a pact to run away together into the wilderness (handily enough, Sam is a Khaki Scout.)

Some of my favorite parts of the movie:

  • The narrator was a dyed in the wool New Englander.  I laughed everytime he came on the screen just because he was so perfect.
  • Ed Norton as the camp counselor = Perfection
  • The costumes, of course :)
  • Suzy packed a suitcase of books and a record player to run away with.  A girl after my own heart <3
  • The supporting cast (including Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis and Tilda Swinton) was just fantastic.

All in all, it was humorous in a quirky, fun sort of way (as you would expect from Wes Anderson) and visually gorgeous to watch.  I highly recommend it!
