Like most Wes Anderson films, Isle of Dogs bears weakness in its plot, especially as the film wraps. But he brings a lot more to the table than straight plot. Chris Klimek, NPR:
…by the time Anderson’s animators show us a meal of sushi being prepared in meticulous close-up, I was ready for any trick Anderson wanted to perform for me. Isle of Dogs takes Best in Show.
Wes Anderson’s movies are event films, and no less this time. Don’t miss it. 8/10

P.S. Bryan Cranston was on the Colbert show, and brought a model of his character “Chief.” He demonstrated what it took to make this movie, painstakingly nudging the models one whisker at a time, photographing each step. Isle of Dogs must be the ultimate stop-motion film. He said the film took FOUR YEARS to make. That clip included below.

Not Anderson’s best, but still enjoyable. Nice review.
