Reviews best movie, ever
Rating: 5/5
With Wes Anderson movies, most people either love or hate the films. I think it's either you get it or you don't. With the Tenenbaums, I absolutely loved every second of the film from the first time I saw it in the theater in 2001. Gene Hackman is perfectly cast as Royal with his sometimes careless comments to his children during flashbacks, but his funny little sayings, "You're true blue Ethel," makes him almost hard to hate. Ben Stiller (Chas) is perfect as his crazy perfectionist character. There are too many story lines to explain and too many side stories, but over all, it's amazing, funny, and not boring at all. I laugh so much watching this every time.
Delightful

One of my absolute favourite movies! The commentary on the Criterion is also worth listening to. I don't get it.
Rating: 1/5
I don't get it. This is the most confusing attempt at a movie I've ever seen. The plot makes no sense and wastes the skills of several very fine actors. Royal Highness

I was so enraptured by the visual beauty the first time I saw this film, that I had to watch it again just to get the parts of the story that had passed me by. This is a complete masterpiece! Loaded with symbolism, high aestheticism, sharp wit, and deeply charming characters.
The story, the art.....Five stars, on so many levels. Bravo!***** WARNING: This product requires an advanced sense of humor

If you know anything about Andersons' work, you either get it or you don't. There is no inbetween. It's not that his films are so out of touch with humanity that it's difficult for people to get. But it infact hits the heart of it so well, and Wes knows how to capture a moment in a way that's so different, but unstoppably honest, that it just comes down to the fact that it is not for everyone. Every element is so methodical, from the story itself, to the way it's shot, and the music giving a beautiful backdrop, that when one of his movies ends it leaves you wanting more. It leaves you wanting to continue to follow the characters lives and know more about what happens to them. And can I say, he sure knows how to pick a cast of actors that deliver ever single time. I hope you enjoy the film as much as me, and if not, that's o.k., just pass it on to someone else. |
