“It’s a full-blooded Wes Anderson film like any other, and one of his very best.”
—Slant
“There’s a sublime marriage here of script and technique.”
—Empire
“This movie will seduce you on tactile terms alone. The animal characters’ real, shiny fur, gently moving in the wind! The infinitely detailed sets and props: acorn-patterned wallpaper, cutlery made from deer hooves, bespoke corduroy jackets with tiny stalks of wheat in place of pocket squares! You don’t want to watch this movie, you want to climb inside it and play.”
—Slate
“A marvel to behold — with wonderful shifts in perspective, an intensely tactile design, and an intentional herky-jerkiness of motion that only enriches the make-believe atmosphere. Clooney and Streep do some of the best work of their illustrious careers.”
—The Village Voice
Wes Anderson finds his match in a classic from Roald Dahl. Meet Mr. Fox. His life wasn’t perfect, so he made it fantastic. When his home is threatened, he teams up with a group of bandits who embrace their animal instincts to rise up against three of the “meanest, nastiest, ugliest” farmers ever seen. Featuring the voice talents of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, and Michael Gambon in a caper as sly — no, as clever — as a fox. In 35mm.
