Review by Skippy_neu

Only recommended if you are a Wes Anderson fan. I am not really and can't appreciate this experiment. The film's imagery is appealing but the fast dialogue is exhausting. According to other reviews, the interesting story and dialogue are fully based off the book so no creative achievement there. The music did not leave a mark on me. You keep waiting for a moment when the movie draws you in but it doesn't come. The acting is good and supports the setup well but the film is not really based on the acting and the actors are not given any room to shine. So even Benedict Cumberbatch or Dev Patel fans can skip this one.
