    Just extraordinary. If you’re a fan of Wes Anderson, he’s in top form here. The humor lands consistently. The scenarios have such imagination behind them. The performances are great across the board. And there’s even a chase sequence animated in the style of New Yorker illustrations. Wonderful stuff.

    I enjoyed it, but it felt depressingly plausible. It’s not Adam McKay’s snappiest work, but I liked the performances and felt like a lot of jokes landed.

    Overall, it felt very earnest. The pacing was a little rough, and I don’t think it stuck the landing with wrapping up all of the plots. However, the story felt like it was based in real experience of someone who cares about zine culture and the riot grrrl movement, and I really liked it for that. Also, Amy Poehler in a Sleater-Kinney shirt is extremely rad.
