Ah, yeah I get it.

I feel it’s more whimsical than Eggers but definitely has that darker gothic tone…until the Sex People Lynne!

One of the films that I passionately hate is Steve Zissu 🤬🤮

I just feel like why should I care what happens to any of the characters in his films when at any moment they might look bored themselves sitting in a pastel coloured suit?

Yeah agree with that.
I’m also not a fan of “quirky” characters.

I sort of enjoyed Meet the Tenebaums although I felt it should’ve been more sinister .

The Lighthouse has Robert Pattinson wanking over a mermaid at one point. I'm sure that won't be awkward watching with your teen, though.

Some of the best cinematography and acting I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying for many a year.

I didn’t realise that was his brothers, didn’t see it but saw it advertised. Any good?

Well.


Well…🤣

I think it really depends on what you expect from it.

This year, I enjoyed The Wasp, Cuckoo and Magpie yet all 3 were odd and verging on ridiculous. The Front Room was probably a step down from them quality and story telling wise but still passed the time.
 
I love the trailer for this South American film 'Kill the Jockey':

I find that my love of everything Wes Anderson has done puts me on the wrong side of you… :lol:

I watched on Boxing Day, love it… but, 100% understand why you wouldn’t too. It’s his weakest recent film, The French Dispatch is a much better film.
