Moonrise Kingdom (12A)
(Wes Anderson, 2012, Us) Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand, Bill Murray. 94 mins
Anderson's signature meticulous, deadpan retro-chic works best when it's tethered to something tangibly real, as this is, historically and emotionally. Set on an island microcosm of 1965 America, it details the touching elopement of two precocious but naive pre-teens, and the grown-up chaos and crises their clandestine outdoors adventure provokes. It's a stylised storm in a teacup, packed with visual flourishes, cultural footnotes and the usual dry comedy. But beneath the playfulness are some deceptively mature observations on the pain that comes with both childhood and adulthood.
Men In Black 3 (PG)
(Barry Sonnenfeld, 2012, Us) Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Alice Eve. 106 mins
A time-travel twist facilitates a return to the 1960s and the golden age of conspiracy theories, which goes a long way to justifying a sequel no one was particularly screaming out for.
