    Moonrise Kingdom

    ★★★★½

    Moonrise Kingdom, is a beautifully romantic film, warm and soft on the surface, dark and gritty in the center, fun and thought provoking all in one.

I could whole-heartedly agree with Michael Roffman as he stated, "Few films are ever enjoyable and endearing as Sing Street.". I would 100% recommend watching this film

    An epitome of silent films, Charlie Chaplin's the kid does not only tug at the heartstrings but provides many, "laugh out loud" moments throughout the film. "Many of Chaplin's admirers regard The Kid as his most perfect and most personal film", I believe this statement from David Robinson accurately summarizes how many people (including me) think about this film. Throughout the film it seems as though Chaplin pulled experiences from his life and sprinkled them around, making the film very…
