Moonrise Kingdom Page
At its core, "Moonrise Kingdom" is a film about the struggles of adolescence and the quest for identity. Sam, a troubled and introverted young man, is a misfit among his peers and finds solace in his love of nature, reading, and solitude. Suzy, a precocious and creative teenager, is similarly isolated, having moved to the island with her family and struggling to connect with her parents. When Sam and Suzy meet, they form an instant bond, sharing a sense of disconnection and disillusionment with the world around them.
