    pretty bold of wes anderson to make a film about how propaganda is bad while simultaneously inserting blatant anti-cat propaganda throughout said film 🤔

It’s smart and different and sometimes deliberately odd and really funny — rarely in a laugh-out-loud way, more in a smile-and-nod-I-get-the-joke kind of way.

The staggeringly well-crafted Isle of Dogs is nothing if not Anderson’s most imaginative film to date.
