  1. Negative review
    Jim Schembri, 3AW The reputation of Wes Anderson as one of America's most consistently over-rated directors gets another boost with his latest exercise in stylistic posturing and forced whimsy. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    Craig Mathieson, The Sunday Age Moonrise Kingdom, which the director wrote with regular collaborator Roman Coppola, feels like his most emotionally honest work since his 1998 breakthrough, Rushmore. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia) It's not my favourite Wes Anderson film but I do like it very much. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia) His singular take on young love on the run from any sort of authority has moments of sheer oddness, but it's all of a piece with his other work and you are either an Anderson fan or you're not. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald There are many echoes of Anderson's earlier films, particularly Rushmore and Tenenbaums. He's an unapologetic romantic and Moonrise Kingdom is a study in wish-fulfillment. Full review External link
