Look closely: under all the pretty shot construction and (over)stylized direction, Wes Anderson has had nothing new to say…ever?…as the beat of his comic timing has no drumhead, his human insight is vapid at best, and so much of his oeuvre is, at its heart, two or three tropes played incessantly over and over and over and over and over and over… (redundant? yup, just like this and every other movie of his).
