what the others say
Time Out
"Its childishness, sense of innocence and eye for fun all make it a very easy film to love."
Guardian
"Eccentric but heartfelt, and thought through to the tiniest, quirkiest detail in the classic Anderson style..."
Daily Telegraph
"A worthy addition to Anderson's canon -- his deadpan wit meshes nicely with a generous view of human imperfections."
