Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

Two troubled teenagers in love escape together and are frantically searched by the community of the island they inhabit.

A congenial film, imaginative in its visual compositions and fairly intelligent in its character constructions. Anderson is a really talented filmmaker. The fact that this and his other latest output do not match his two first extraordinary films must be weighed against the difficulties of pursuing a strictly authorial line and being responsible for all the aspects of screenplay (albeit with collaborators) and direction.

Rating: 60
