Is this movie any good?

Haven't seen this one but no other movie of Wes A is preachy ...

i'm just back from catching it.

it's definitely not preachy. don't know if you're familiar with wes anderson, but whatever criticisms you want to make of him, i can't see how preachy would ever be one.

here's what i wrote on letterboxd.

it's definitely a wes anderson movie. and a film for new yorker snobs, i guess.

i'm an anderson agnostic, i suppose. it seems ill-natured to beat up on someone who clearly puts so much effort into what he's doing, but at the same time, not one of his films has ever really stuck with me, resonated in any way.

they're all fine. they're cute. but...paddington 2 is the best version of a wes anderson universe. the day he makes something like that, he'll have won my devotion. for now, he's got my grudging respect.

the art story was the best of the bunch.
i didn't care for the manifesto piece.
the last story was pretty good, elevated by that animated bit.

it's cute. it's perfectly watchable. i don't care if i ever see it again and i don't care if he never makes another movie.

extra 1/2 star for some surprisingly enjoyable nudity. bring nudity back to the theatres, please.

3.5/5

I liked it.

Have you watched any of Wes Andersons movies before?

I liked it

I'll let you know when it hits the Redbox. I do watch all this guy's films but they're not as good as they used to be.

No. It sucks

It has a few good moments, looks stylish and has a great cast, but isn't very good overall.
