Synopsis

September, 1965, a storm is three days away from the New England coast. At an island camp, a Khaki Scout's gone missing: he's Sam, 12, a bespeckled misfit, an orphan. Ward, his by-the-book scoutmaster, organizes a search after calling Captain Sharp, the local police. Sam is running away with Suzy, his pen pal, the laconic oldest child in a quirky and unhappy household of two lawyers (one of whom is having an affair with Sharp). As Sam and Suzy sort through their own issues, they stay a step ahead of the searchers while the storm gets closer. Social Services suggests Sam may need electroshock therapy and an orphanage. Is there scouts' honor, and what of the sad Sharp?

1/10

Furthermore, I felt that the musical choices in Moonrise Kingdom were often jarring and distracting, taking away from the storytelling rather than enhancing it. The sudden shifts in tone and style in the soundtrack felt disjointed and out of place, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the narrative. Overall, I believe that the soundtrack did not effectively complement the film's themes and failed to leave a lasting impact on me as a viewer.
