Moonrise Kingdom poster

Why people love it

People revisit Moonrise Kingdom for the same reason it broke through in 2012: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a drama rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Wes Anderson keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The comedy and drama blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
