Review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) by Thomas W — 15 Sep 2018
Quirky and dark storytelling from the rushmore creators, one of the most favourite films. Anderson grew into a masterful filmmaker with this film and Rushmore, The Life Aquatic is a great film but that remains divisive to everyone.
Hackman is the key here and he delivers a character who is deeply lonely and flawed. The cast of everyone is impressive, they all shine in roles that are well suited to them. The film is part indie and studio, but Anderson keeps things from being too mainstream and I feel he was starting to grow into the filmmaker he is now.
Great film and further evidence Anderson is one of the greatest filmmakers in modern cinema. 16/09/2018.
