Comedy. Drama. Romance Set on an island off the coast of New England in the 1960s, as a young boy and girl fall in love they are moved to run away together. Various factions of the town mobilize to search for them and the town is turned upside down -- which might not be such a bad thing.

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"'Moonrise Kingdom' represents a sort of non-magical Neverland -- that momentous instant when the world can seem so small and a naive crush can feel all-consuming"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The hilarious and heartfelt 'Moonrise' Kingdom is a consistent pleasure. By evoking the joys and terrors of childhood, it reminds us how to be alive (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"The director's best film since 1998's Rushmore, it has none of the self-conscious smugness of The Life Aquatic or the empty eccentricity of The Royal Tenenbaums (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	David Edelstein New York Magazine	"Wes Anderson returns with 'Moonrise Kingdom', his most stylized diorama yet (...) True Andersonites will likely float away in a state of nirvana"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"As in 'Fantastic Mr. Fox', Anderson is able to express sincere personal connection and compatibility while employing a highly artificial style"	POS
