Honestly, I had chosen to watch this film because Christian Bale, Rami Malek, and Anya Taylor-Joy are playing the main roles.

The style of the film reminds me so much of a Wes Anderson film with all the quirky and dreamy setting, juxtaposition of light and dark themes, odd story, and funny music.

However, I found out that it is not a film directed by David Russell, not Wes Anderson. And later on it became obvious to me too, because the style of the film is not really consistent.

I think this is partially because it is based on true story. Additionally, the story plot itself introduces too many unnecessary characters who are not amusing enough to be included in the first place.
