I loved this movie the first time I saw it. And it grows on me a little bit every time I rewatch it. It's like going to visit an old friend's house. Anderson did such a marvelous job building this odd little world. It's just one indelible image after another. Gene Hackman is just marvelous. And that shot of Margot getting off the bus.

I do love this sort of film, and The Royal Tenembaums is for me a masterpiece and one of the best of its genre. Not only is it filmed absolutely beautifully with striking photography and scenery, but it has very well-defined characters, adroit direction and an engaging story.It was the script and acting though that elevated The Royal Tenenbaums. It has been a long time where I have heard a script this good, with a ideal balance of comedy and drama. When it comes to the acting, Gene Hackman and Anjelica Huston, who I both love, are brilliant, and Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Stiller perhaps give the best work they have done.In conclusion, just a wonderful film. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This film made me feel things, not only are the performances great and some really nice cinematography, nothing less than what you would expect from Wes Anderson, but the story itself is simple yet beautiful. There are some really touching moments in this film and I did come close to tears. It's a great film but if you're looking for a comedy I think this isn't your ideal pick, however if you're looking for a touching movie about family, friendship and love then definitely watch this, you won't regret it :)
