The TVI Take

Wes Anderson's pre-teen-runaway film treats first-love specificity with the same formal commitment Anderson typically reserves for adult ensembles. The diorama-aesthetic and 1965-coastal-New-England visual register are not affectation, they're the structural apparatus by which a small-stakes story acquires emotional weight.

The Bill Murray / Frances McDormand parents are doing more difficult work than the kid-leads receive credit for.
