Considering the amount of junk on Netflix, this is a 5* film, so to balance the scoring I gave it a 10. I'd say 8 is a fair score. It's a really enjoyable popcorn movie that is done really well. The girl is a really natural and good actor, would be interested to see what else she can do if given a meatier role. Very entertaining.

Spike Jonze really does make films that nobody else could conceive or succeed at. Joaquin Phoenix turns in a remarkable performance acting basically by himself. Definitely deserved the best original screenplay Oscar.

This is my favourite Wes Anderson movie, the story telling, cast and everything come together perfectly. Gene Hackman gives one of his best performances and I can't think of anyone else in the cast who didn't also perform perfectly. Funny, stylish and entertaining.
