Wow! Such a good movie.

Wonderful character development!

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I see the Anderson contingent will vote top marks for anything he produces regardless of merit This film has no merit. It is merely a very bad copy of many copies of Japanese animations that were trendy in the 70s. It is certainly nothing new.The story isn't written very well, although it had potential. I managed about twenty minutes before feeling like watching a washing machine would be less boring.It doesn't live up to, or come anywhere near the hype. One to miss for sure

If you love dogs, Japanese culture, Brayan Cranston, cool animation and a superb story, then this film is totally for you!Not apt for catlovers. Finally a movie does some justice!!

Another dry-witted & beautifully rendered feature from the director of Moonrise Kingdom & The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs isn't as instantly appealing as it looks but it rewards our patience & investment with a charming story that gets better as plot progresses.Set in dystopian near-future Japan where an outbreak of canine flu results in all dogs being relocated to a quarantined island, the story follows a young boy who travels to the island in search of his beloved pet and finds allies in five other dogs who assist him on his mission .Written & directed by Wes Anderson, Isle of Dogs employs stop-motion animation to bring its dystopian setting to life and the level of details & vivid colour palette really stand out. But the picture is also marred with problems that are Anderson's own creations, as evident in the film's racial stereotyping & white saviour trope.There isn't much to complain on the technical front as Anderson makes sure every aspect is fine-tuned but he doesn't offer enough about the characters to make us invest in their journey and only expects us to get on board with it just because it is about the bond between a boy & his pet, thus affecting the emotional vibe.Featuring a star-studded cast of Hollywood A-listers, all of whom play supporting roles and are simply forgettable, the film is led by Bryan Cranston & Koyu Rankin and the bond that develops between them during their journey together. There is nothing to talk about Japanese culture here as Anderson uses Japan as his canvas & nothing more.On an overall scale, Isle of Dogs is enjoyable, entertaining & satisfying to a degree but there is nothing memorable about it. The images are beautifully rendered, the stop-motion animation is impressive, and the painstaking craftsmanship behind it is admirable. But thanks to Anderson taking shortcuts every now n then, the final product in the end leaves a lot to be desired.

Isle of Dogs is a well crafted and very beautiful stop motion movie. Wes Anderson's style of directing and story telling shines like never before. However the pasing of the movie is kinda off sometimes due to some flashback scenes, but it is still nothing short of a masterpiece and a must watch if you are a Wes Anderson fan :))
