Moonrise Kingdom

Wes Anderson · 2012 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

On a New England island in 1965 an orphaned scout and a girl with a suitcase of stolen library books run off together along an old trail, leaving a troop, a sheriff and two unhappy parents to comb the woods. The worst storm in the island's records is forecast for the end of the week. Anderson's storybook framing and his two child leads made it among his best received.
