Today's movie review is very unusual. It involves a movie I didn't even bother to finish!
I had heard good things about Moonrise Kingdom (2012) - mainly that it was "quirky", so I put it on my list. I started watching it on Sunday, but I only got about half way through it when I had to stop. Somehow I never felt any pressing need to keep watching it, and after about 3 days, I just decided to send it back without finishing it.
The movie is quirky, but it is also incredibly slow. I almost fell asleep during the part I watched. As you know from some of the movies I've already reviewed, I'm not a big "action" fan, so I'm not opposed to movies that don't have car chases and gun-shootouts. (After all, I liked Quartet !) However, this movie was painfully slow, and sadly there wasn't enough quirkiness to carry it. I really wanted to like it! Obviously, I can't recommend this to my readers.
Stay tuned - I will try to give you some GOOD recommendations in the near future!
