While Moonrise Kingdom was a masterpiece to many, including us here at the Old Movie House and Crab Shack of South Hollywood, this is merely an indication poor Wes has finally lost touch with the Known Universe. What werked well in the past, now simply illuminates a Disturbed Mind. And Trust Me, we here surely know well a Disturbed Mind when we see one.
As there seems to be no real discernable plot, ( at least not one that became clear to us after smoking quite a bit of Green Mojave Real Budd), we don't seem to be able to tell anyone else just what the heck this movie is about. Several residents slept thru it twice. Our Entertainment Director talked on her cell phone to her third ex husband for the entire second half of the movie. Both Dizzy and PeeWee remarked that people's lips looked funny.
We barely recognized any of the actors, except of course Willem Dafoe, who remains one of the Ugliest Persons West of I-10.
All in all, we can't say this was an unexpected disappointment, as we have watched the steady decline in Wes's Very Peculiar Movie Making Skills since he did that Hotel Budapest thing.
Wes, check yourself in and get some help...and please, don't make a movie based on your therapy.
