Brilliant comedy and murder mystery

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2015)

I have to start by saying that this is my first Wes Anderson film. The title piqued my interest so I decided to give it a try. I am not disappointed at all. The actors performed exceptionally well and the characters in the story came out naturally. Comedy hits you in the face and it is there throughout the movie at unexpected places. Even though some jokes were slapstick, it was subtly portrayed.
The background score gave life to different situations and the music was cheerful throughout the movie. It takes a genius of a writer to convert what seems to be a conventional drama into a murder mystery.
The settings were lively and the landscapes and scenarios were beautiful. 10 points for Witty dialogs combined with exquisite poetry.
