Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Movieline (883) on 23 May 2012

So why can't I love Moonrise Kingdom…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 23 May 2012

Though not as impactful as Anderson's strongest works - including its adolescent cousin, Rushmore - Kingdom unfolds with an asymmetrical lyricism…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Antonia Quirke (220) for Financial Times (1,822) on 23 May 2012

Only now and again does one get a wash of something unifying, deep - a suggestion of adult depression and disillusion…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Henry Fitzherbert (699) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 23 May 2012

It's never hugely funny or moving - Anderson's movies are too stylised and detached for that - but it has charm and a lovely performance from…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 23 May 2012

Tender, melancholy and nostalgic, it's one of Wes Anderson's best fantasy films…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Mark Sells (183) for The Reel Deal (52) on 23 May 2012

A whimsical tale about a different kind of storm - adolescence before adulthood…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Shadows on the Wall (2,096) on 23 May 2012

This gently engaging adventure is his warmest, wittiest film since The Life Aquatic. It keeps us smiling all the way through…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 May 2012

Moonrise Kingdom is Anderson's most completely satisfying film since the one-two of Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, in part because it's…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 23 May 2012

Moonrise Kingdom breezes along with a beautifully coordinated admixture of droll humor, deadpan and slapstick. Like all of Mr…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 23 May 2012

Here the writer-director's tendency toward the allegorical casts a magical spell with Anderson finding a near perfect balance between the humanism…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Julian Roman (454) for MovieWeb (460) on 22 May 2012

Director Wes Anderson releases a quirky, almost storybook tale of adolescent love in a bygone era…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Graham Young (657) for Birmingham Post (543) on 22 May 2012

Moonrise is a typical Wes Anderson production, quirky to the point of becoming irritating…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Robert Levin (797) for amNewYork (559) on 22 May 2012

As per the director's norm, the film offers a triumph of style over substance…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 22 May 2012

Anderson hasn't lost his puckishly charming genius for cinema-as-diorama visuals. Yet a lot happens in this film, and not a lot of it matters…

By Kevin Lally (258) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 22 May 2012

Wes Anderson's fanciful, heartfelt tale of two 12-year-old runaways will delight his fans and may even win some converts among those who've…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

A wonder-inducing film from Wes Anderson about the authentic quest of two oddball teens who just want to be free…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Elliott Noble (448) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 22 May 2012

Only die-hard curmudgeons will remain unmoved…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for ViewLondon (2,339) on 22 May 2012

Wes Anderson's seventh feature is a delight from start to finish, thanks to a wonderful script, a typically fabulous soundtrack, achingly stylish…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Matt Patches (283) for Hollywood.com (1,014) on 22 May 2012

A living storybook with the emotional depth to boot…

By Andrew O'hehir (1,324) for Salon.com (2,725) on 22 May 2012
