Slant Magazine - Andrew Schenker
Although the film remains continually fanciful, it always reminds us of the stakes in which precocious childhood rubs up against the possibility of a childhood denied altogether.

IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Even when that story drags, Moonrise Kingdom could be appreciated on mute.

Boxoffice Magazine - Pete Hammond
The director of quirky fare with a rabid cult-like following has made a charming, magical and really funny new work about two unique young kids discovering love over one unforgettable summer, and it's the director's most accessible movie yet.

The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
A very charming, beautifully wrought, if somehow depthless film - eccentric but heartfelt, and thought through to the tiniest, quirkiest detail in the classic Anderson style.

The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
This is a Wes Anderson film -- more lightweight than some, possessing a stronger emotional undertow than others -- that will strike the uninitiated as conspicuously arch.
