    So much style, so much substance.

    I think out of all of Wes Anderson’s movies, this is the one with the best character work. Great character work for not only the core main characters, but there’s ample development and depth with a few other people who aren’t in the center spotlight.

Other films from his catalog have similar elements of quirk and style, but this one just knocks it out of the park every time.

The entire cast really looks like they’re having a good time, and that definitely translates…
