As a non-fan of Wes Anderson, this is easily his most accessible and/or enjoyable film to date. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but it's a fun film (something I can't say about the rest of his movies).

Although I don't like his technique of cinematography - static or dolly camera, always symmetric and in straight angles or quick pan/tilt - it's rather OK in this film (but still very distracting). Same goes for the 1.33:1 aspect ratio (and other numerous aspect ratios and framings during the beginning of the movie).

There are so many guest appearances by great actors, that it makes the movie even more fun to watch.

Good production design and film locations, pretty quick pacing (after a slow start) and fun movie to watch.

The makeup on Tilda Swinton is fantastic.
