Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

I really enjoy Wes Anderson movies, and this one is  just about perfect. A boy and girl, both wise beyond their years at age 12, run away together on a small wooded island off the Atlantic seaboard in 1965, just a few days before a massive hurricane is do to hit the area. Wes Anderson indulges his YA sensibilities expertly and gives us a sweet childhood fantasy of young love in the best of ways. Complete with his trademark visual sense and large cast of characters, a lovely retro piece that is perhaps the best film about scouting since Follow Me Boys. I hearty enjoyed the proceedings. Most of this is good family material but their are one or two scenes which would give me a little pause about showing to youth under age 13.  ***1/2
