Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
The childhood we've all dreamed of.
Presentation:
Wes Anderson's top film brings us back to the romantic years of our youth, rewriting all of the pains, heartbreak and naivety that we've all come to accept as a rite of passage into adulthood. But this film provides a bandaid for aching romantics by portraying everything we envisioned should have happened in those early adolescent years.
Conclusion:
This is the film to watch as it encapsulates the essence of Wes Anderson and has more soul than his masterpiece The Grand Budapest Hotel. This film not only brings you back in time, it also remedies the wrongs we've experiences and brings closure to untapped memories. His best contribution overall.
