Beautifully written. This is one of my favorites from Anderson, though perhaps some of that comes from being one of three brothers and dealing with some of the same issues. I think it's his artifice in production design and wardrobe that allows the straightforward emotions of his work to come out clearly in dialogue and staging, and that's why I keep coming back, even when the artifice is just too overwhelming (I was briefly not-very-enamored with The Grand Budapest Hotel, though I owe that a rewatch).
Absolutely, yeah. I've seen GBH twice now, and I still can't quite pinpoint where I land on it. I think that has to do with the scope of that film specifically, together with the presentational density of Anderson's style as a whole.
