Saw this last night. It's cute and gorgeous, and overall a good time. Definitely geared more towards adults than kids, which is refreshing for an animated film.
This was my first Wes Anderson film - honestly, as highly-regarded as he is by cinephiles, I didn't see what the big deal was. I was impressed by the visuals and entertained enough by the dialogue, but nothing blew me away. The cast is loaded with talent but nobody besides Bryan Cranston gets enough screentime to really stand out.
I'd give the film 7.5/10.
Has anybody actually seen this?

I tried watching Bottle Shock the other day and just couldn't get into it; felt very self-conscious and overly stylized.
Still, really looking forward to this movie (my favorites of Anderson's are the same as Spider-Fan, as well Fantastic Mr. Fox). Kinda bummed this comes the same day as You Were Never Really Here, though; hope I don't have to choose between the two.
For those who have seen it, what's your opinion regarding the accusations of racism/cultural appropriation made against the film?

Nice Crowe.
I need to see the Life Aquatic again. It has been ages, but like with all his films outside of Darjeeling, I remember rather loving it. In fact, considering a marathon with a friend next week. She hasn't seen most of his films and it seems like a fun way to prepare for Isle's release.
1. The Grand Budapest Hotel
2. Fantastic Mr. Fox
3. The Royal Tenenbaums
4. Isle of Dogs
5. Moonrise Kingdom

I saw it. It was pretty good. If you like Wes Anderson's style, which I do, it is kind of amusing to see it placed atop dogs. But that joke, which is already visible in the trailers and marketing, is about all there is. The story itself is pretty bleh to me. It is certainly one of his lesser works.
