Moonrise Kingdom 2012

I thought this was a pretty good adventure. Some of the jokes landed pretty well and the plot kept me engaged the whole time. I enjoyed the progression of the story and thought the ending was nice.

There's a weird scene in the middle that just doesn't sit right with me? Directing kids to be intimate with each other... I mean, in real life, sure those scenarios can happen, but realistically we had a bunch of older men giving borderline pedo commands to a pair of kids. They didn't need to be sexualized to that degree to get the point across for that scene. And it's hard to overlook that.

That aside, everything else about the movie is quite endearing and shows off Wes Anderson's masterful eye for making pretty good movies.
