4/5 stars
Wes Anderson could be criticised for
sticking to what he knows best, but when he consistently turns out
charming, affecting, stylish films, then he should be allowed to
continue with as little interference as possible.
Moonrise Kingdom is the latest
gathering of Anderson’s favourite cast-members (Bill Murray, Edward
Norton, Jason Schwartzman and the usual bevvy of curiously sincere
children) who are joined this time by Bruce Willis who leads the
search for runaway pre-teen lovers, Suzy and Sam, the latter of whom
escaped from Norton’s remote island scout camp and finds himself
threatened with the prospect of life in Tilda Swinton’s draconian
orphanage.
Anderson has chosen 1960s New England
as his playground this time around, which adds to the juvenile
romanticism and cutesy hand-made quality.
