James King killed this review (ie, good) so what I have to say is only a continuation.This movie indeed shares multiple Wes-isms with other Wes flicks, including sets and characters that are fashionably coordinated, the hilarious and endearing resistance to believable special effects, severe quirkiness of characters and dialogue, and careful organization of small prop combinations.I’m a big fan of King’s sentiments that MK could be just another disc to slip into Anderson’s box set.Each of his films seems to exist within the same Anderverse and is simply separated from the next by geography or chronology, though not a difference of opinion about the world: the past is really fucking important and people make mistakes--lots of them.One crucial missing element was Anderson’s knack for unforeshadowed and heart-wrenchingly tragic loss.
