Atom User Reviews
Is strange I’m gonna see it again and if you ask me to describe scenes in detail I can’t. I just know I felt good watching it from beginning to end. If you like Wes then watch it. You’ll like it
Truly a unique filmmaker and film! Some good laughs along the way and creatively done!
Metacritic
So what does the film, playing in theaters, want to make millions of moviegoers feel? Delight in graphic design? Sure, but the filmmaker’s familiar motifs, playful and inventive as they may be, operate in an emotional void.

Anderson’s backdrop, a kind of steroidally enhanced Frenchness reminiscent of films such as Belleville Rendez-Vous and Amélie, is rather lovely, if ultimately as far removed from reality as is the film’s romanticised view of journalism.
The endlessly inventive Wes Anderson and a cast of all-stars use all the tools of cinema to give a big, fat, loving smooch to, of all things, print journalism and the gifted eccentrics who practice it. Too fussy? Maybe. But what an exuberant gift of a memory piece.
