Moonrise kingdom ****

I just saw this movie and I loved it.

With a stellar cast comprise of:

·         Bruce Willis

·         Edward Norton

·         Bill Murray

·         Frances McDormand

·         Harvey Keitel

·         Bob Balaban = narrator

·         Tilda Swinton

·         Jason Schwartzman

·         Larry Pine

·         Wes Anderson = director

·         Jared Gilman = Sam = boy

·         Kara Hayward = Suzy = girl

Moonrise Kingdom is an offbeat movie about two 12 yrs. old children. 

The ensemble cast plays eccentric, weird characters, but you could not expect any less from director Wes Anderson.

The movie was hilarious in a very dark kind of humor; it was tragic due to the consequences that brought them to that place and time.

I felt the kid’s pain, the parent’s grief, the sheriff loneliness and empty life, the troop leader’s awkwardness. 

Jared Gilman was great as the boy, he play his role with such insight  and trustfulness.

Kara Hayward was also great as the girl lost in a dysfunctional family where nobody was listening to her.

Actually all the personages in the film were out of touch with reality, nevertheless you felt for them.

Great acting by the whole cast and even that the movie is about children this is a movie for adults.
