Review of Isle of Dogs (2018) by Brent_Marchant — 06 Apr 2018
Director Wes Anderson's latest film continues his practice of creating visually dazzling offerings that are long on style, overlong on story and, ultimately, short on substance. The film's clever whimsy is cute, warm and funny at times, but it becomes so exactingly overwhelming as the story plays out that it becomes tiresome and exasperating long before the credits roll.
What's more, the film's clumsily structured narrative and screenplay tell the story in such a disjointed and convoluted way that it's easy to lose interest, despite the superb stop motion animation eye candy.
Meticulously crafted it is; engaging, unfortunately, it isn't.
