Life Aquatic with Steve Sizzou is edgiest of the three, but with the best soundtrack, I find it probably the saddest of his films. The performances are exceptional, with Bill Murray soaring the highest. Mr Fox is gloriously animated and Anderson's unique visual style is allowed to zing but for me the Grand Budapest Hotel was simply flawless and it's probably my joint favourite Anderson movie along with Rushmore. It's so layered, both in characters and plot, it's relentless and feels like a screwball comedy. Ralph Fiennes has never been better his creation of Guastave is sublime. I cannot fault this film, I loved every second and would have happily watched it again straight away. I watched it with a grin and found myself delighted endlessly by the visual brilliance of Anderson, and beautiful elegant storytelling.
Wonderful stuff.
Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 9/10
The Fantastic Mr. Fox 9/10
The Grand Budapest Hotel 10/10
