Wes Anterson wowed the world again with a superb direction and storytelling, combined with very talented actors and set design that really brings the story to life. Unfortunately, the source material is just not good enough for this otherwise remarkable to come through as an excellent short film.
Without going into any spoilers, the story is extremely dark and distressing throughout and never culminates into any satisfying ending. The story ends abruptly, leaving the audience hanging, confused, and depressed. It makes you wonder what's the whole point of the tale, and what message the author is trying to get across. If you want a dark, artsy experience maybe this is for you, but if you are looking for an entertaining experience like all the other Wes Anderson's films, look elsewhere.
