I saw Moonrise Kingdom the weekend it came out, when it was only playing at two theaters in New York City. It was packed at the UA Union Square Stadium where it was playing every hour. Packed.

In a world where movies and TV shows are instantly available through Netflix and Hulu on your very own laptop or home television, it’s a delight to actually want to see a film in a movie theater. And this was one I wanted to see on a big movie screen,  the old fashioned way.

Now Moonrise Kingdom is playing at BAM and while it might be crowded it won’t be as crowded as it was that first weekend.

Some people find Wes Anderson prescious, twee and just this side of annoying. But I love him because his films are such enchanted and imaginative creations. Little doll house worlds that are so compelling.

This one is a beautiful, strange, fairy tale with two unknowns and Francis McDormand, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, and Bruce Willis. Need I say more? AO Scott called it one of Anderson’s “supreme achievements” and it’s been garnering good reviews all around.

This is Anderson’s first film since the The Fantastic Mr. Fox and it follows the budding romance of two 12-year-old runaways; the boy is attending a Boy Scout jamboree and the girl lives on the same island as the camp. It’s lyrical, weird, funny, romantic and beautifully imagined world visually and musically.

I say go. It’s at BAM.
