Moonrise Kingdom


This movie is great! It is carried not by the cast, all of whom are wonderful, but by the cinematography or whoever it is who is responsible for the shooting of the film. It was like reading a children's book with the best possible illustrations. Each shot seemed a page across which the action moved. It was so like reading Goodnight Moon that I kept looking for a mouse in a corner. And the music, I can hardly find words for. A lot of Benjamin Brittain, some Mozart, Hank Williams. I'd have to sit and study the credits to name them all. Oh, and the credits, which ran to an empty theater except for the three of us, were worth watching all by themselves. I was amazed that they named everyone on the orchestra. 

See it if you can!
