Latest Wes Anderson movie exhibits its autors signature visual style, but benefits most from being focused on a strong central relationship. Andersons last couple of movies have been principly anthology or ensemble pieces, where as the dynamic between enigmatic businessman/criminal Benicio del Toro and his estranged daughter, a nun played by Kate Winslet's daughter Mia Threapelton, is a satisfying one harkening back to the directors early work. There is still a star studded supporting cast with Micheal Cera's entomology professor being the standout. The film holds plenty of long shoots with which to better enjoy the set design. As far as homoge and influences go, this reminds me alot of Orsons Wells 1950's production 'Mr. Arkadin', which is about (among other things) an international buisnessman/ criminals fraught relationship with his daughter. ***
