Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle.
This movie contains 24 potentially triggering events.
As heartbreaking as it is, Snoopy's death is offscreen; the arrow is shot and his cry is heard but nothing is on camera. His body is briefly shown after the kids wonder aloud where he is, with the arrow sticking out of his neck.
not stalked really... but since the kids go missing there are search parties for them, and theres talk of having to cover their own tracks and also the search party finding their tracks sometimes
Not exactly? An adult offers alcohol to a twelve year old, and then refills his glass when he drinks the first round. No children are mistreated by any adults on screen (other than not trusting or respecting them), but they mention an abusive juvenile institution. If you read the newspaper clip they show, it says the boys are living in poor conditions and are very unhappy.
There is a scene where the two young main characters who run away together fondle and touch eachother suggestively. The act is consensual, but as they are both young in age it may make some viewers uncomfortable.
At least one scout master is being prepped to be shaved, but is only seen having shaving cream applied. The straight razor is seen being stropped before that, briefly.
No, but they show a picture of an institution for troubled youth and if you pause and read the newspaper clipping it describes the poor conditions there.
This is set in the 60s, and there's a few discussions of a boy potentially being sent to a mental institution for troubled youth by social services (he isn't). The language they use doesn't get worse than children calling people crazy and exaggerating about an insane asylum, but they make direct reference to an ableist child protection system. I think it's at least a little distressing to watch.
There's a lot of Native American appropriation/fetishization in here, and I think they do say i****n a few times. Hank Williams Jr. comes on the radio singing Kawliga and a couple people wear feather headdress.
44:50 - 46:27 There is sexual content between two preteen characters which is honestly more uncomfortable to watch than if they were adults. They dance in their underwear, kiss, the boy gets an erection, and then the girl lets him touch her chest. Neither are naked at any point. Before this, he had drawn pictures of her in her underwear and in one of the pictures she is naked. At one point the camera upskirts her while she's crawling into a tent.
Sam is in a foster home situation after the death of his parents and the audience knows that his foster parents have relinquished him back to the state. There is some discussion of what to do with him but he is technically homeless for a portion of the movie.
Yes, a boy is stabbed with scissors. The stabbing is not shown on screen, but his bandaged wounds are shown during a brief scene. A dog is also shot with an arrow, and the dead body is shown for less than a second.
