"The Royal Tenenbaums" by Wes Anderson I found to be an overall beautiful artistic statement as a film but lacking basic and very important qualities for a film of its hip nature.
The film exhibited interesting direction as well as a rather interesting script by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson, a great alienating production design, quirky editing, very stylish score, and of course the perfectionist symmetry-oriented cinematography of Wes Anderson.
Apart from all of its qualities, I really thought it lacked the very most important - intrigue, movement, emotion. To note, the film had an impressive cast with excellent performances; in particular by Gene Hackman pushing hard as well as Anjelica Huston.
