Moonrise Kingdom Obligatory Blog Post

Perhaps you have seen this poster at the Wilma and been curious...Or seen the giant lines outside on Tuesday nights and wondered what this mix of people could all be going to see. Is Ira Glass in town? Nope, just another awesome film from the creative mind of Wes Anderson.


Well, if you have ever enjoyed a Wes Anderson film (a la Fantastic Mr. Fox, Royal Tennenbaums, Rushmore, The Life Aquatic..to name a few) chances are you will spend a lovely (and air-conditioned!) hour and a half at Moonrise Kingdom. I'm not sure if it is playing at other theaters, but trust us that the Wilma is the most appropriate setting to see this film.


Backed by an extremely talented adult cast...



Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of young love...

And adventure, loners, lovers, binoculars...

The style is amazing on all accounts. Each shot is meticulously laid out and as beautiful as a postcard.

There is a very epic ear piercing scene that we won't spoil for you, and we don't recommend reenacting it. However, these earrings could function as a more sanitary version if you felt inspired!

Of course, Sunday school shoes! And lacy bobby socks.

Complete the Sam look with faux-smartguy glasses!

And an awesome vintage boyscout's shirt. And a leather Goertzen bag. For all your adventure needs.

Betty's gives this flick two thumbs up. Thumbs with rings on them.
