I have seen a ton of reviews that said that if you are a fan of Wes Anderson you’ll probably like this movie and if you’re not… well…. yeah. While I have liked a few of Anderson’s films they are generally lost on me. While the visuals and the acting in this film are absolutely stunning the film goes further into absurdism than any film that I can remember. To be honest I still haven’t finished it. There may have been a better film in there but it was overshadowed by the style.
