Wes Anderson often gets (unfairly) pigeonholed as a one-note whimsy machine, but he proves he is so much more in the brilliant Moonrise Kingdom, where we see his habitual sweetness offset with somberness.

Anderson finds something that has often been lost among his pitch-perfect aesthetic and clinical composition: warmth.

It’s funny, it’s playful, it’s full of nostalgic blasts and period trappings, but most of all it is loving: accepting of the headstrong kids determined to find their place in the world, forgiving of the oblivious adults around them...

For Suzy and Sam, their paradise only comes into focus when they find someone who genuinely accepts them for their oddity. Outsiders can rarely make those connections, and when you find that person, you hold onto them for dear life.
