- The film dominated film-school cinematography exercises because its symmetrical framing and dolly shots seemed reproducible.
- It prompted exploration of Anderson’s earlier films.
- Its pace, energy and overt humor make it especially satisfying; Fiennes gives a favorite performance.
- The controlled style feels integral to Gustave and the plot, reducing the irritation some feel with Anderson’s other films.
