| Review: After loving The Grand Budapest Hotel, I was definitely interested by watching Wes Anderson's previous movie. In Moonrise Kingdom I could recognize many characteristic elements: caricatured roles, exceptional setting (a tropical storm vs. the World War), many known actors, mathematical framing and camera motions, offbeat humour. The style is very similar (although not as colorful) but the topic is very different. Here we deal with a young couple precociously entering adult life, displayed in some scenes slightly disturbing when played by 12-years old actors (intimacy scenes). The whole movie looks like a prelude to the style Wes Anderson ultimately mastered in The Grand Budapest Hotel, but less good on all counts: not as funny, colorful, mathematical.... I wonder if his other films also look the same. |

Moonrise Kingdom has indeed a beautiful aestethics especially with the perfect geometrical positionning of some scenes, the meeting of both kids in the fields, the pathfinder camp and the interior of the house. The Darjeeling limited is also very good, even if the creativity of Wes Anderson was then focused on the story. I would have rated Moonrise Kingdom 6/10 as well.
