Isle Of Dogs is a quintessential Wes Anderson movie: odd, funny, quirky, inventive...but difficult to warm to. The meshing of the basic theme and heart of the movie - a boy and his dog - with much larger issues is handled very cleverly indeed, as is the combination of East and West, and whilst the story and narrative techniques used are effective, it can be a little soporific in relentless style over feature-length running time. Isle Of Dogs is one of Anderson's more entertaining movies, but it is perhaps one of those films to admire rather than enjoy outright. Nevertheless, there is no denying the artistry on display here.
