Such an important watch

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2019)

I love all Wes Anderson films, especially "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", and this one. However, this film holds the most special place in my heart because I think it delivers such an important message.
The two children the film focuses on both suffer from loneliness, as the boy is an orphan and the girl is neglected by her family, and this has serious consequences on their mental health. Mental health issues among young children is a subject that has not been covered much in the film industry and I admire Wes Anderson greatly for tackling it, while simultaneously giving us such a beautiful and heartwarming story. The film has great acting performances, too. Go see it.
