I'm not at the Cannes Film Festival, but for Screen International I reviewed this year's kickoff film, Moonrise Kingdom. I'm in sort of a unique position to write about the latest from Wes Anderson.

For my money, The Darjeeling Limited was the best thing he'd done until Fantastic Mr. Fox, which is on its own level of greatness. With that background in mind, here's my Moonrise Kingdom review.
