The Royal Tenenbaums
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three genius children and then they separated. When Royal Tenenbaum announces he is terminally ill, the family reunites. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster.

Anderson truly comes into his own as an original voice with a unique storytelling agenda with this fresh, studiously peculiar film.
October 01, 2014
Anderson may yet be the heir to the screwball-comedy throne, but his creative blood needs a fresh infusion.
October 01, 2014
The Tenenbaums's self-referential outlook, wayward agendas, wanton destructiveness and wishful fantasy make for a highly entertaining spectacle, provided you acknowledge you're watching a churning status quo that will never alter in essentials.
January 16, 2017
With a stellar cast, gorgeous art direction and a surprisingly moving story [The Royal Tenenbaums is], a contender for Anderson's best work to date.
October 01, 2014
Anderson likes his characters too much to see real cruelty befall them; you likely will too.
March 04, 2014
Anderson, who collaborated on the script (as in his previous films) with his college buddy Owen Wilson, gives everyone some of the best dialogue heard in a recent movie.
October 01, 2014
These characters are written with the broad strokes of caricature, yet they are neither funny nor, in the end, sympathetic.
October 01, 2014
This comedy-drama about a dysfunctional family of eccentric geniuses is exactly the kind of movie America could use. It's funny, poignant, laced with irresistibly flawed characters and focuses on the power of love in a family.
March 04, 2014
Wes Anderson is an authentic original -- an eccentric and heretical talent.
March 04, 2014
While the situations sometimes feel forced, Anderson has mounted an elegant production, beautifully filmed and accentuated by pleasant narration from Alec Baldwin and classy storybook transitions.
March 04, 2014
Each character, as ever, is tucked into a shell of his or her obsessions, and yet the filming itself -- the grace of Anderson's draftsmanship, as it were -- binds the figures together into a team.
October 01, 2014
The film manages to be both sarcastic and sentimental. As odd as the Tenenbaums are, the family remains bound by love.
