Here’s What Critics Are Saying About Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs

Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs opened the Berlin Film Festival on Thursday, the first reviews are in, and the consensus is: It’s a Wes Anderson movie, all right. The film, about a futuristic Japan in which dogs are quarantined to an island because of a mysterious illness, has several of Anderson’s trademarks, but critics agree that it’s also one of his most daring movies yet, praising the stop-motion animation, voice cast, and political undertones.
