Easily Anderson's best work in years, very mature in execution and no longer weighed down by his self created baggage and tropes. Will be writing a review on my blog soon, I will share the link and would appreciate your feedback. What did everyone else think?

The story wasn't consistently engaging to me but I was in awe of the look and feel of the film, what a stunning piece of work. And Ralph Fiennes and Tony Revolori were brilliant.

8/10

Brilliant, loved it can only recommend it but then humour is a tricky thing and what you might find great and funny your friends might find silly and not in the least funny. Oh, well.... still go and watch it and make up your own mind. Fiennes is wonderful!!

Avoided all reviews, and finally, got to see this, and it did not disappoint. The colours, the visuals, the actors, what an absolute delight. Funny, quaint and quirky. Loved it. 9/10
