Moonrise Kingdom Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this meticulous and convincing detail does not add up to realism but - depending on your perspective - to something either much less or much more than that

  by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com ]

• this carefully orchestrated dynamic runs counter to most lovers-on-the-lam movies, where naturalistic acting and handheld cinematography typically enhance the outlaw spirit

  by Peter Debruge [Variety ]

• there's something faux-craftsy and primitive about the depicted rooms

  by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies ]

• there's beauty everywhere

  by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]

• the synopsis above is far too plain to convey the auteurist-bait mise-en-scene of Moonrise Kingdom

  by David Edelstein [New York Magazine ]

• the pictures might be taken by a robo-security apparatus designed by a genius of geometry

  by Richard Corliss [TIME Magazine ]

• shot on Super 16mm, the visible grain giving each image a wonderfully tactile depth and life

  by Karina Longworth [Village Voice ]

• humor remains subtle and wry, as the young characters - who are definitely the focus here - are as well-spoken as the adults

  Review rate : A- by Eric D. Snider [Film.com ]

• has a tremendous ensemble cast

  by Julian Roman [MovieWeb ]

• even in the most incidental scene, there is always an arresting design quality to divert the eye

  by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter ]

• colors are too bright, too perfectly coordinated

  by Ian Buckwalter [NPR ]

• by evoking the joys and terrors of childhood, it reminds us how to be alive

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• as always, Anderson devotes himself meticulously to each element, creating scene after scene of exquisite precision

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News ]

• Anderson hasn't lost his puckishly charming genius for cinema-as-diorama visuals

  Review rate : B- by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]
