TGBH is one of my favourite films ever.
It's aesthetic is visually pleasing and colourful which makes every scene a joy to watch. Furthermore, when paired with the very fun score from Desplat it gives even the most quirky scene a hint of suspense and tension (such as Deputy Kovac's run from Jopling).
Its dark tongue in cheek humour is perfectly timed and not too overdone.
The plot is very complicated but certainly not impossible to understand, however this wonderful film is one to entertain, rather than to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat; therefore I would recommend to a first-timer to try and enjoy it rather than to try and keep up and figure out the story.
It is a shame that Wes Anderson did not receive any Academy Awards for this masterpiece.
