Every scene an artwork. An excellent cast. The director is truly a genius, very similar to his other creations most notably Budapest hotel another great film. One of my top films at the moment with an interesting story line and exquisite character...

Wes Anderson’s ode to print journalism is a periodic delight.

Not good. The movie tries to be funny, but is not. And the voice over is annoying. Just a strange movie.
