It is Wes Anderson’s movie. Really out there even for him.
I quite liked it. But a couple sitting in the same row first started shifting in their seats. Fake laughing at weird moments. Then whispering. 5 mins later they walked out with an obvious fuck this i dont care strut.
No one else left, but you could feel others were considering it.
Have been surprised to see that Wes Anderson have historically got fairly mixed reviews. The best ones like Grand Budapest Hotel are in the 80s on metacritic, some classics like The Life Aquatic are in the 60s. The past two recent movies (French Dispatch and Asteroid City) are both on 75 which is above average for him.
Personally like all of them but can see why the later ones are more divisive with audiences.
I’ve come to accept that either I’m not intellectual enough to appreciate Wes Anderson, or he’s trying to see how far he can push it before alienating even his last fans.

Me and my partner both fell asleep, first time ever
I would have left AC early but I kept hoping it would have a point

Worse than The French Dispatch?
