I first watched The Royal Tenenbaums when I was twelve years old. It immediately became my film – a film I could revisit over and over again and gain a deeper appreciation for on each viewing. At least twenty viewings later and The Royal Tenenbaums is still a source of pleasure and comfort for me. That I am a fan of Wes Anderson’s films is a surprise only because I tend to run a mile from anything that could be characterized as “twee”. However, I feel like there is a pure and sincere quality to Wes Anderson’s storytelling that enables his films to transcend that label and ultimately win the hearts of skeptics like me. Don’t get me wrong - I get why people don’t like Wes Anderson films or why they may be weary of his aesthetic. But I love the guy unabashedly and will defend him to my grave. 
(This is a long-winded way of saying that I have to wait three more days until I see Moonrise Kingdom and I am none too pleased about it.)
