The Royal Tenenbaums
Directed by Wes Anderson
2001
★ 6.6 editorial score
The film where Wes Anderson's dollhouse precision finally serves real grief: Gene Hackman plays a father who lies his way back into a house full of ruined prodigies.
“Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums unfolds like a regal fairy tale. A king has been thrust from his family's kingdom and hopes to claw his way back...The Royal Tenenbaums is a film of rare beauty, alive with humanity and crippling sadness. It earns its joy because Anderson can make an otherwise ancient cliché crackle as if it were new.”
