Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 30 May 2012

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Ed Whitfield (493) for The Ooh Tray (482) on 30 May 2012

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…

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 30 May 2012

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for New York Observer (1,400) on 30 May 2012

The result, in the case of Moonrise Kingdom, is what I call transcendentally brainless - an after school special aimed at asinine adolescents…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 30 May 2012

Yes, we know these events are less than likely, and the film's entire world is fantastical…

By Charlie Mccollum (48) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 29 May 2012

Hayward and Gilman are newcomers who are asked to carry much of the film and pull it off with lovely understatement and extraordinary believability…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Anthony Lane (1,079) for New Yorker (1,403) on 28 May 2012

As usual, Anderson's densely imagined mise-en-scene contains many allusions to movies, music, and literature (Benjamin Britten's orchestral…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 25 May 2012

If the deadpan sensibility of the film ultimately leaves it feeling a tad lightweight, that isn't to say that Moonrise Kingdom isn't a funny,…
