| Fort Worth WeeklyKristian M. LinThe way this movie treats our relationship with animals makes it an unlikely cousin to Bong Joon-ho's Okja, and yet Anderson's dryly funny, tactile, and affectionate movie will... make you go home and look at your dog with fresh eyes. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonThe film is not only hilariously entertaining, but also firmly in the tradition of such political parables as George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” |
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe unique charm of Isle of Dogs is its bottomless vault of curios, its sly humor, playful graphic inserts and dexterous narrative detours. |
| The Associated PressLindsey BahrThat Anderson can still excitingly tell a new story within the structure of his unique visual language that we’ve gotten to know so well is just a testament to his incandescent genius. We don’t deserve Wes Anderson, but we should be eternally grateful he doesn’t seem to mind. |
| Metro (UK)Larushka Ivan-ZadehThe dry, comedic timing is perfection and the detailing incredible. I can't wait to paw - sorry, pore - over this time and again. |
| Herald Sun (Australia)Leigh PaatschA triumph to be treasured on multiple levels, Isle of Dogs just might the best thing Anderson has ever put his name to. |
| San Francisco ExaminerJeffrey M. AndersonThe film's design and framing are not only funny, they are astonishingly beautiful. Like many have said of Kubrick, every frame in the wondrous "Isle of Dogs" is worthy of being a painting, whether it inspires a grin or a gasp. |
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessAnderson's signature whimsy isn't for everyone, but his evolving ability to temper delight with dread and vice-versa is superlative here, ensuring the wordplay of the title can't help but ring true. |
| CNN.comBrian LowryThis Fox Searchlight release is an admirably ambitious film, one whose appreciation for its mishmash of genres ultimately proves infectious and winning. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenAs wonderful as Fantastic Mr. Fox is, Isle of Dogs represents a leap forward for Anderson and his extensive team of stop-motion animators. |
