joshua’s review published on Letterboxd:
I do kind of agree with people who think this is a weaker one of Anderson's - it's a bit too silly and a bit too vague (actually, I think this would have really benfitted from being the first Wes Anderson film that's over two hours) and even the main character in Zsa-Zsa doesn't have the depth you would think from the way he is introduced - but I can't bring myself to fully commit to the weak accusation because those near death visions are some of my favourite sequences in a Wes Anderson movie till now - made me very emotional every time they came in a way the film resists elsewhere. Very funny out of those though. One of Wes' funniest I think! Looks different in a way I can't really place, compared to the other recent Anderson movies. Maybe it's the different cinematographer. I don't know. Maybe I'll figure it out if I watch it a fourth time...
