Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012) by Matesrates — 24 Nov 2012
Quirky and high-concept, this film could easily become an exercise in style over substance. It is both beautifully mannered and unreal but it's also unexpectedly engaging. The soundtrack, featuring Benjamin Britten, Hank Williams and in one key scene Francoise Hardy, is a joy.
The actors hold the story together even when the action becomes quite overwhelming. This film well exceeded my expectations.
