Donatella Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 You should really see Fantastic Mr. Fox! I enjoyed it, and it's based on a Roald Dahl book and he's my dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the division of joy Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 This film was fantastic. Heartwarming and hilarious. Voice acting was superb and the soundtrack was excellent as per usual with Anderson films. It's being accused of cultural appropriation and the white saviour trope but I think people crying that are looking to nit pick and be offended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 This film had an odd release in the US. It was being advertised as a late March release, but I guess that was a "select cities" deal. Then it was supposed to get a "wide" release" a week later, but nope. Anyway, it finally made it to my town this Friday! It was fantastic but so fucking weird. (Some of the garbage island stuff was unsettling. And the weird use and non-use of subtitles. The translator is a legit device to use, but why not have subtitles as well for when she's not present? It got a bit frustrating after a while not knowing WTF Atari was exactly saying.) However, like most Anderson films, this was undeniably heartwarming. Maybe it's the best thing Bryan Cranston's done since Breaking Bad? I dunno. But all hail Chief! I'm also left wondering if this is really a "kids" movie. I lean towards not so much. It's definitely not as much a universal a tale or "all ages" as a Pixar flick or even Anderson's The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Overall it's a really enjoyable film but not his finest work. I think I'd rank it alongside Moonrise Kingdom in terms of overall quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
