    The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More

    ★★★★

    Henry Sugar - Wes Anderson to its logical conclusion and then goes even further, heartfelt in that weird Dahl way.

    The Swan - Rupert Friend is an absolute star in this, absolutely crazy, there’s more playfulness in this one than you’d think given the graveness. 

    The Rat Catcher - So fun, gross and tense in ways that Wes rarely gets to be

    Poison - 11/10, absolutely rocks so hard. Wes Anderson can make anything now. He can do anything.

    Masterpiece, now that I’ve had time to let recency bias fade away, still a masterpiece. Between this and the Dahl shorts, he could literally do anything after this!!!!!!

    ★★★★½

    Insanely real wtf…

    I’ve known (been) Matts and I’ve known (been) Maras throughout my life but as someone who’s been more Matt than Mara, this movie rules as a kind of out of body experience. 

    Mumblecore but always engaging, personal and specific but never distant. 

    Lovely as hell, ultimately.
