Not the first time Wes Anderson assumed, that to claim absurdity of the movie means to get carte blanche for pulling out of a hat any character and plot device regardless of their development or internal consistency. There are enough people approving that assumption, so my disagreement must be my own issue, which yet has not spoiled the experience entirely. It is still cute, unusual and funny, although can be apprehended as misanthropic and chauvinistic if to seek for allegories too diligently.

A wonderful experiment from Wes Anderson. Isle of Dogs is a wholesome adventure with a dark backdrop. It is not overly quirky, and the execution is superb. Tilda Swinton plays a pug.

there are times when a problem that bothers us so much gets resolved all of a sudden. this film has many of those incidents. it doesn't risk anything and eventually sinks into boredom.

It's kinda frustrating the screenplay is so basic, but it's incredible to bask in Wes Anderson's aesthetics of decay and pestilence. It desperately needs a second viewing just to appreciate the stop motion goodness.

The stop motion is beyond impressive, the voice cast is pitch-perfect, especially Cranston, whom I hope will appear in more Anderson films in the future, and the child-like playfulness mixed with a more adult realism we've come to expect from Anderson is there to behold, but although it is a good movie it has a lot going against it. Alpha Dogs are abandoned too quickly, the human characters and general feel to the environment can be too unpleasant, and it's not up to par with the predecessors.

I loved this. But I also love Wes Anderson; he is my spirit-director. The animation and details in this film is just incredible and show how much research and appreciation he has for Japan. Every part of this is very respectfully done. The story has its charms but it's the trademark Wes Anderson touch that brings the most out of this pretty simple story. The decision to have the human characters speak Japanese is pure genius.

Didn't think I'd enjoy this as much. This one didn't have nearly as much boring, low-engery, uninspired voice-over performances as Fantastic Mr Fox, and it did have a little more story and substance than The Grand Budapest Hotel. Because it actually had story and substance. Not much, but two or three moments were actually sweet and it was well done and only rarely boring and pretty fun overall. Wes Anderson, I think I like you again.

Cute and fast paced, simple yet effective story. Liked the atmosphere, animation and narration a lot and it's pretty funny too. The dogs are great but honestly, cats are still better than dogs. There ya go, I said it.

Doesn’t quite have the emotional weight of Anderson at his very best. But this is gorgeously detailed, beautifully voiced and as comfortingly whimsical as a Wes Anderson fan like myself could hope for. It’s minor Anderson in my opinion, but still better than most could ever wish to achieve.

Visually this might actually be better than Fantastic Mr. Fox though I think overall that was a stronger movie. Here the middle third of the film seems a tad hollow with the generic adventure story plotting. That said the voice acting is amazing and the last third is outstanding. It really does gain momentum the more you get into it.

Just a fantastic cinematographic experience. The use of foreign languages helps you focus on various visual elements, subtle camera tricks give you great satisfaction. Needs multiple watching. It is also good to see that Anderson eased up on his OCD of symmetry, colour and abrupt cuts.

engh, it's neat and cute, but goddamn does it take itself seriously. i don't know; i usually like that about anderson's films, but the content matter & setting in this one didn't necessarily complement his style so much as comfort it. kind of a snooze after an hour...

Isle of Dogs is a film that lacks neither substance nor style, but is nevertheless a film I ultimately found lacking. Anderson's usual brand of surreal quirkiness is present throughout. The animation, with its meticulousness, is gorgeous. The dialogue, however, felt off and hampered my enjoyment. It follows Anderson's usual parttern of speedy verbosity paired with long awkward silences, but where I found it witty at the beginning, as the film progresses it seemed to becoming off-puttingly inane.

Except for 1 of the dogs implausibly becoming far more compliant than any part of his presented history suggests he could be, this is an entirely compelling, unpredictable storyline w/ a lot of likeable characters. Speaking as someone who's not an Anderson fan, I appreciated the lack of overly stylized performances & this would be my favorite of his. The film also serves to highlight the fascistic extremists on the left: anyone who says it's racist or accuses Anderson of "cultural appropriation"

The animation style is unique and visually impressive, though the constantly shifting fur was distracting. This plot is also (mostly) unique, albeit bizarrely violent. I also have to complain about the subtitles - they went by WAY TOO FAST, and I'm someone who is quite used to watching subtitled anime. But it's otherwise a well-made film...just not for me.

While the characters and story don't quite match his best work, Anderson's typically fantastic art direction and deadpan dialogue really bring this world alive.

You've come to expect it but nevertheless every single shot in this movie is doing something visually stunning.Anderson always puts together an all-star cast even though some don't get enough screen-time the ones that do get it really shine.That being said a common flaw in his movies is that they sometimes are style over substence and this film does suffer from that.I found myself also drifting of at times due to Anderson's weird choice of not adding subtitles when needed.

maybe it's cute, but it has some serious unheeded points. firstly, such a rebellion is quite romantic. interruption of a dictator's speech is so unrealistic today. secondly, it is annoying that all dogs want to own a master. chief was reflecting the opposite idea and we saw its change through the film. it's like saying the unwanted groups must always perform the commands of the power. finally, why can only an exchange student see the conspiracy and lead the community? because she's american.

Memorable soundtrack and a new cultural aesthetic for Anderson to prey upon. The plot-line was foreseeable, but the running gags, use of stop motion and art direction saw this through.

I really didn’t find anything in this movie to be lacking. I love Wes Anderson, so maybe that increased my opinion, but the movie is exceptionally animated and the story is thoroughly original and very charming. Some great voice acting and direction boost this above a lot of animated movies I saw this year and last. I found the whole experience to be engaging, cute, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt. A winner for Anderson and for sure worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet.
