Moonrise Kingdom

Set on an island off the coast of New England in the 1960s, as a young boy and girl fall in love they are moved to run away together. Various factions of the town mobilise to search for them and the town is turned upside down -- which might not be such a bad thing. This film by Wes Anderson is full of beautiful beautiful moments, gorgeous colour and sound that steals you away.The relationship that develops between boy girl, is awkward, and uncomfortable in places, but also incredibly beautiful which any-once-been-awkward teenager will understand. Tilda Swinton is utterly petrifying in her role as social services, and there are lots of little humerus surprises throughout.
