4/5

Bravely holding up the peace sign in protest against modernity and establishment, Moonrise Kingdom could be

seen as this generation's Easy Rider. A big statement to make for sure, but its quirky tone and important discussion

genre styles in a unique yet polarizing fashion to create an alarming vision of our…
