Moonrise Kingdom (Blu-ray) OFFICIAL THREAD - Pre-order

[Moniker]

Overrated, but still charming. I would probably place it above Aquatic and Darjeeling, but below all others. I've loved Wes and his work for nearly 15 years, met him when Rushmore came out, and saw Tenenbaums 10 times in the theaters (I was 23, deeply depressed, and living alone at the time). I even have the original BOttle Rocket DVD autographed by Wes himself, so I'm assessing his latest film as a true fan who's very familiar with his entire filmography. My main issue with MK was that the writing and the way it's delivered still feels too choppy and unreal. I can handle the myriad other stylistic flourishes, but I still feel let down by his inability to let the characters breathe and express themselves genuinely.
