four years pass...

watched the Criterion blu-ray of this the other night, it was an Xmas gift for our 7-yr old. He loved it, I thought it was better than it was the first time I saw it. completely entertaining throughout and there were more details i picked up on this screening. and the visuals are the best of any Anderson film I've seen, it's just a very beautiful looking fall colors kind of movie. love the wolf bit near the end too. I think WA's aesthetic really works for this film, and unlike some of his more recent films (most of which i actually do enjoy a lot despite saying this!) it makes his aesthetic seem fresh.

He's a maker of (consistently) excellent rather than all-time great films. FMF maybe comes closer than most. My controp is that he's never made a less than good film

Isle Of Dogs is a more than worthy follow-up though

your controp is i think correct. i guess The Life Aquatic and The Darjeeling Limited are considered his least worthy films, but i thought they were both good.

as did i

recently watched the grand budapest hotel and was richly entertained by that too, and that's a bit of a punching bag

I've seen this movie more times than I can count now, thx to my kids, and I have to say it still holds my interest, it's always so nice just to look at, and it is very well paced

grand Budapest really doesnt have any reason to exist but i mean its still p wonderful

isle of dogs is great

fmf and tenanbaums tied for his most complete works

moonrise kingdom great and i expected meh there tbh

Grand Budapest was not at all what i expected from the trailers, i expected a bit of a quirky hotel-based whodunit and not some weirdly alternate universe intrigue thriller comedy with an earned non-manipulative bummer ending.

Grand Budapest Hotel, FMF, and Rushmore are all I need.

But GBH got terrific reviews -- is there a backlash I know nothing about
