Moving and intelligent comedy-drama about a family of once-successful children who have now fallen apart after the divorce of their parents and complete lack of responsibility shown by their father.
The story is deep and honest, with very real issues tackled and a perfect balance of clever comedy. Gene Hackman is especially terrific, but the rest of the cast are great too. Wes Anderson's an... read more

Would I want to be inducted into this particular order of nobility? Not especially, actually.

I mean, I suppose that they were all just too damn talented, or something.... One might almost ask Lady Chekhov here-- or any of them, actually-- if you're so damn clever, then why can't you figure out how to be happy.

And, although I see how often allusion is the better p... read more

To be honest, it has been a while since I have this flick and I should definitely re-watch it if I have the opportunity. In fact, this is the first movie directed by Wes Anderson I have ever saw and, I remember it very well, I saw it in the movie theater when it was released. At the time, there was a lot of hype about this fairly new director and he was apparently the new US indie sensation so I w... read more

" First Viewing Viewing Date: March 29th Via: Disney+ Plot: The eccentric members of a dysfunctional family reluctantly gather under the same roof after hearing that their patriarch is dying of stomach cancer. Rating: 8.2/10 Why Did I Watch It? I've been meaning to watch this for about 20 years due to the cast, but it has always eluded me. After watching Wes Anderson's first two movies, I could finally dive in."

"27.2. Disney+ Uusintakatselu. Ei ole The Royal Tenenbaumsin kanssakaan kovin helppo eritellä, miksi se on niin hyvä, mutta se on sitä vieläkin isommin. Tarjoaa niin paljon virikettä, ettei kaikkea ehdi sisäistää tai järjellä jäsentää, ja olenkin varma uusintakatselun vielä, kun jotain muistaa tältä kerralta, olevan eduksi. Jos nyt vielä raapii mestariteoksen raja-aitoja, ensikerralla saattaa hyvinkin kiivetä yli. Paitsi jos odotan sitä. Kuitenkin unohdan koko uusinnan, koska"
