wes anderson at his most thrilling, suspensful and charming while also sprinkling in commentary on fascism.
undeniable andersons best, its paced perfectly.
some say his most recent movies suffer from overstylisation to the point of parody but personally i don't think that exists at all.
i think thats a dumb critique, what? you critique a directors film because its to "directed"?
now i do think his later films lack a few things but not every film can be perfect.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulously crafted confection of a film that wraps a poignant meditation on loss and impermanence in layers of formal elegance and absurdist humor. It feels like watching a perfectly composed painting come to life, then slowly fade.

Reviews
Usually I don't want to watch a movie with a 90% male cast, but when it's Wes Anderson I don't mind.
Also I don't know why but I think it's funny every time they swear.
