Wes Anderson critics gave it mid reviews compared to his other movies, but I liked it enough.

It's still far from his bests, but at least the pace is good, the plot somewhat streamlined and the comedy hits from time to time. A tad better than Asteroid City in my book which was already a slight step up from earlier works.

For me the drop in quality comes with Grand Budapest Hotel and I also don't care much about Isle of Dogs and French Dispatch. It should be mention that the whole second half of Anderson's filmography has Roman Coppola as co-scenarist, so maybe he should work again with Baumbach, Schwartzman or Wilson?
