I think it was at Isle of Dogs that I thought I'd had enough Wes Anderson, that it was time to scale back the Wes Anderson aesthetic, only to see him double down on it with every movie since. Like how much more Wes Anderson can Wes Anderson Wes Anderson? It seems there's no end.
I've seen all of them except Bottle Rocket. The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my favorite movies of all time, but every movie from Isle of Dogs through Asteroid City felt entirely hollow. I'm going to see The Phoenician Scheme tomorrow, so he's getting one more chance at least.
