The Royal Tenenbaums 2001
The Royal Tenenbaums remains Andersons best work before he had cracked the science of his aesthetic; there’s still room here/ actors are more fluid and unique having not yet learned the Wes language. There’s mess and space - it doesn’t suffocate in it’s own art. a wonderful film

The Descendants 2011
rewatched: in hindsight sandwiched between two other great middle aged men in crisis films - Sideways and The Holdovers this has probably aged the worst and with less interesting hurdles to climb. The white decedents of Hawaiian land, extreme aggression against a cheating spouse, a neglectful father, i found this to be more of a painful story set up than any of Paynes other films. Just a little too neat and inside the box.
