FILM: "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012)
SYNOPSIS: "Director Wes Anderson's story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. Featuring Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton." (Watch on Amazon)
Directed by Wes Anderson, and stars way too many recognisable names and faces for me to be able to accept this film for what it is, other than a ensemble where EVERYBODY needed to be in on ... which I recognise is ironic, as tons other Wes Anderson films star as many known actors, but...
BONUS BTS:
BUY ON AMAZON:
