  Clearly there wasn’t a responsible adult in the editing room.

  I have absolutely loved this movie. It certainly is a new take on the ‘Groundhog Day’ concept, and there can be an infinity of different takes, it you think about it. This one is intriguing, poignant, and hilarious; and what a great mix of those it achieves. Totally worth your time, with an excellent soundtrack, and a mid-credits scene you shouldn’t miss.

  The French Dispatch 2021

  Somehow, Wes Anderson’s films always have a strange way of bringing me closer to humankind. Perhaps it’s their attention, even fascination, with the most insignificant details of their characters, as unsavory as they might be.

  This is no ‘Moonrise Kingdom’, not by a long shot, but it’s still full of wonder, pathos, and, unsurprisingly, mesmerizing dialogue.
