A wry storybook-style take on two twelve-year-old classmates who decide to run away together on a storybook New England island in the early 'sixties. The formal staging and self-conscious dialogue keeps the audience at an ironic remove, but there's real emotion and passion there if you think about it. I found it entirely delightful, with a dream cast that includes Frances McDormand, Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton and Harvey Keitel, not to mention the two outstanding youngsters, played by Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward.
