Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- "Visually and thematically, ISLE OF DOGS is steeped in contemporary Japanese pop culture and futuristic iconography, but it also draws on traditional influences – not least in its witty allusions to Hokusai and other classic art. - 02/15/2018 The Guardian

"[A] visual and technical marvel -- a movie whose every image is a miniature triumph of imagination and execution." -- Grade: A- - 03/21/2018 A.V. Club
"[T]he details are what gives Isle of Dogs its vibrancy and allure. And despite the film's dark subtext, Anderson keeps the action fizzy all the way through." - 03/20/2018 Rolling Stone

"ISLE OF DOGS is really a film about its own enthusiasms: for four-legged fleabags of all shapes and sizes, of course, but also for the culture and cinema of Japan, which is woven with typical fastidiousness into Anderson’s magpie aesthetic." - 02/15/2018 Variety
"[A] thoroughly captivating tale of a 12-year-old Japanese boy's quest to rescue his beloved pet..." - 02/15/2018 Hollywood Reporter

4 stars out of 5 -- "DOGS ranks among Anderson’s most inventive works to date." - 04/02/2018 Total Film
