Beware of Young Boys

This hauntingly reminded me of the cruelty of my so called peers in middle school. The lack of empathy in many people, including their children, can be so detrimental to everyone around them, either in the past or present.
Wes Anderson has made many beautiful but heartbreaking films, as much as I have personally seen, but this one stands out to me with how much it affected me with just only 17 minutes used in its runtime.
To say he's all style and no substance doesn't even feel like a valid criticism at this point.

What would it take to convince Mr. Anderson to have Dev Patel & Benny Cumberbatch to be included in his rolodex of actors he works with recurringly?
Please let me know.

Wes captures the melancholic wonder that Roald Dahl puts in this short story so fittingly, I can't see another director/writer getting it this well with this first short film.

(This is the Orphan: First Kill of the Saw franchise. In the best way possible.)

If they had just fucked, none of this mess would've happened.

This film being from the same director as Strays (2023) doesn't feel real.

I love how charmingly absurd this film is after seeing years later. It's definitely "Barbie-coded" and has that early 2000's parody movie sense of humor that's executed perfectly.
This remains to be such a fun movie for everyone (especially potheads).

Rewatching because I'm feeling very single and very bitter over Poor Things getting delayed.

"You can't be scary and warm."
"I think you can, your mom is."

"It comes across as love.
I guess I just pay attention.
Don't you think maybe they're the same thing?"

"Different things can be sad, it's not all war."
