"A stop-motion feature film in the style of Wes Anderson, known for movies like The Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom. This is the second time the director has ventured into the world of animation, the first being Fantastic Mr. Fox, highly praised by critics and nominated for an Oscar. With the mask of children's production, Isle of Dogs criticizes society and interventions made by indifferent politicians to public opinion. An excellent movie that will entertain fans of Wes Anderson and also those looking for a good story."
