Solid

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2014)

This is only the third Wes Anderson film I've seen, but I loved the other two (Fantastic Mr. Fox and moonrise Kingdom). The distinct voice and style that he put in those films is very present here, but for some reason it just didn't connect with me nearly as much. The production design, the music, the visual imagery, it's all rather amazing, should get a ton of Oscar nominations in the technical categories... but while I did enjoy the film to a degree, it also felt detached. It felt like I was watching with a wall in between, so while I could very much appreciate it and even enjoy it, it feels like I should've loved it even more. Only rewatches will determine just how much I will take to it.
