Upon seeing the trailer for Moonrise Kingdom I thought 'standard Wes Anderson', which is great, although not unexpected.
What you actually get it is the best children's movie of the year (of 2012) that isn't really made for them, which doesn't really matter as none of them will see it. I can imagine some of the excellent young cast (Jared Gilman & Kara Hayward are particularly spectacular) of the film actually watching this thinking 'what the hell is this all about?'
Its a wonderful tale of youthful discovery with a bit of the great escape thrown in for good measure. I loved every minute of it.
