I think you have to be a Wes Anderson fan already to genuinely enjoy this movie. It was beautifully shot, well acted and captured innocence, adventure, and nostalgia brilliantly. But every line of dialog is utterly flat. Not a single emotion is possessed among the entire cast, except perhaps the villain. When no one in the film cares, I don't either. Welcome to Wes Anderson's world.

I really love Wes Anderson's humour. The subtle comedy he uses make the jokes twice as funny.

It´s not my favourite Wes Anderson movie, but it is a great and beautiful movie with a nice story, with two young but greats actors that did a fantastic job. The movie don´t have the classics actors that Wes uses regulary in his movies, minus Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman that appear in this movie and are classics in Wes movies, after seeing the entire filmography of this wonderfull director and one of my favourites, I can say that this is my fourth favourite movie, being Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou my three top favorites movies of Wes Anderson
4/5

I liked pretty much everything about this, and loved some of it.

The cold feeling and simplicity of the dialogue made the film. Beautiful visuals, as well.
Stunning film.

This is easily my favourite Wes Anderson film. It's the adventure every kid wishes they could go on.

Not my favorite, but it probably is his best film. Why? It's his most realistic film in that there were more multi dimensions to the characters opposed to the rather cartoony nature of his previous films. I also thought adding actors like Bruce Willis and Edward Norton (who I never thought I'd see in a Wes Anderson movie) were fantastic choices.

Like Mr. Fox, it's a kids' story, but an unsanitized one, a throwback to kids movies of the 70s and early 80s, and I'm sorry if I can't come up with a well-known American one, but my French-Canadian cousins will know La guerre des tuques (maybe you know it as The Great Snowball War or as The Dog Who Stopped the War), which has the same vibe. With its yellow filters, Moonrise Kingdom even looks like a film of the era it represents (the 60s). It's about a sweet romance between 12-year-olds, one a super-competent but isolated orphan scout, the other a pre-Goth Goth girl who loves books but gets into much trouble at school. They live on a fictional New England island that is a world unto itself, and run away together, at least for as long as they aren't discovered. It's wonderful, and you never know where it's all going to go. I have a friend who claims each new Wes Anderson film is his new favorite, and I think I've just gone through that experience in a matter of days.

I know this film is quite dumb in many ways, yet it is the only Wes Anderson film I have wanted to watch more than once (and I have),

Best movie I've seen in well over a year. Absurd and highly entertaining.
