It's an adventure, a love story, a biblical allegory complete with approaching storm, a mash note to composer Benjamin Britten and a profoundly touching discourse on the needs of troubled children.
"Moonrise Kingdom" is Anderson's seventh movie, and it's the first since "Rushmore" that works from the opening shot to the final image.
It's a fable about what it feels like to be 12 years old and afflicted, from head to toe, by a romantic crush the size of a planet.
Like all Wes Anderson movies, it is na?ve, mannered, pretentious and incomprehensible.
Wes Anderson's mind must be an exciting place for a story idea to be born.
Wes Anderson's most intimate film since Bottle Rocket (1996) and maybe his most deeply felt overall.
Moonrise Kingdom feels like a culmination, like Anderson has been working towards this one movie.
Wes Anderson films are not so much directed as curated.
Funny and heartfelt in equal measure, "Moonrise Kingdom" is a top-to-bottom charmer and one of the most heartfelt peans to the power of young love that you will see anytime soon.
Has individual moments that are alluring to the eyes, but like the aforementioned dollhouse where Suzy lives, take a closer look inside and it becomes obvious how artificial all the parts are.
Who else can capture with such chilling accuracy that fragile period between childhood and disillusionment, the time when the novelty of true love overwhelms the heart with its immensity and futility?
If you can meet with realism and surrealism and treat those two impostors just the same, then yours are the movies and everything in them. I'm paraphrasing Emilio Estevez but I think you get the idea.
A true delight - a fun, clever, and, of course, whimsical tale about the days when love seemed worth running away from home over and getting a scout badge meant the world.
Anderson's most delightfully bittersweet live-action movie since The Royal Tenenbaums.
A gossamer fable of adolescent romance, played out with the cheekily whimsical, visually delicious style for which Anderson is famous.
Wes Anderson's most sartorially significant film yet.
At once funny and melancholic, whimsical and poignantly true.
