Movie Haiku:Two lonely kids from dysfunctional families run away together one summer day in 1965. Characters are treated with more warm than usual, but the carefully observed milieu is vintage Anderson. We have not been Anderson fans in the past but this one has a sweetness & genuine charm that has eluded him in the past while he can still be as quirky as he always is.
