I watched Moonrise Kingdom last night and really enjoyed it. Rushmore was so brilliant, so perfect for me that everything Wes Anderson has done since has felt like an anti climax, but at last he's nearly matched it. Its no coincidence that, like Rushmore it features a depiction of awkward adolescence. When he's got adults front and centre, Anderson's films feel too wacky and forced but with da kids - his style is perfect.
