"In Moonrise Kingdom, Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward), who are 12 years old, run away from home. Their sweet, awkward, endearing romance will remind you of your first true love. But Moonrise Kingdom isn't a movie about childhood: It's a movie about how we remember childhood, when confrontations with other kids seemed to have life-or-death stakes, grown-ups spoke about things we didn't understand or care about, and it really was possible to run away and go on a wild adventure, as long as you brought the proper supplies. The film is precious and adorable, but it isn't naíve (these kids are becoming sexually aware). Most of Anderson's previous films came from the head; Moonrise Kingdom is from the heart." - Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald.
