Rather than break out of Andersonville and into the real world, the filmmaker burrows further into the fantasy realm with 'Fantastic Mr. Fox.' Ironically, Anderson’s latest turns out to be his most heartfelt, human movie since 'Rushmore,' despite its cast of woodland beasts.

In Wes Anderson's hands, Roald Dahl's imaginative child's story takes on a meta significance as a human-development-coming-of-age story that applies across age groups, generations, social strata, and even species.

Wes Anderson adds a human touch to his usual arresting visuals in the impressive Darjeeling Limited.
Tucson Weekly 935 words
This is probably the most striking, and perhaps the most memorable, of Wes Anderson's five films. This doesn't mean that it's the best, or even that it's good.

Wes Anderson delivers more color, less humanity.

Wes Anderson's McSweeneysification of movies.
Sacramento News & Review 750 words
The film is a Three Stooges story without humor.
Metro Silicon Valley 500 words
With a scant wire frame of a plot, writer/director Wes Anderson is content to let the plot's details slip into a blurry haze, focusing on the tone and the spirit of the film more than its specifics.

The thing that elevates The Darjeeling Limited, what makes it a movie well worth seeing, is how aware the director is of limitations -- in his characters and himself.

Chicago Newcity 754 words
With Darjeeling, Anderson has pared things down to what he cares about most: severely damaged-but-lovable rich brats and their photogenic knickknacks.
Boston's Weekly Dig 429 words

The underappreciated Bill Murray and Wes Anderson shine in the underappreciated The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Also reviewed: Spaceballs: Collector's Edition and Meet the Fockers.
Tucson Weekly 870 words
A lot of film critics are calling Wes Anderson's latest film a self-indulgent near miss. He can weather the abuse, having made a film that might be grim stuff were it not so dazzling and charming in its presentation.

Wes Anderson sets Bill Murray adrift.
Missoula Independent 900 words
Bill Murray won't get the elusive Oscar for this one -- for all its visual majesty, The Life Aquatic is too slight -- but the film is nevertheless a funny, bewildering, and giddy spectacle.
Austin Chronicle 625 words
By making Life Aquatic bizarrely unrealistic, Wes Anderson has created a masterpiece.
