If only more people were smart enough to get Wes Anderson's films. They are complex, funny, sad, beautifully depicted visually and by the actors involved. An American Masterpiece. The fact that Gene Hackman did not win an Oscar for this role... Full review

I absolutely abhor so-called comedies that try to pass themselves off as intelligent, yet seemingly pause for the viewer to grasp that the writer or director intended for you to laugh at this part or that part. Ugh. Thankfully, Mr. Anderson... Full review
