13 Movie and TV Picks for March3 of 13
Isle of Dogs | Opens in U.S. theaters Friday, March 23
Wes Anderson’s second stop-motion animation after Fantastic Mr. Fox is an extraordinary achievement that proves funny, moving, and thrilling in equal measure. Set in a near-future Japan, where the authorities have exiled all dogs to an island, it follows one boy’s search for his loyal pet. The level of detail in the animation is astonishing, the framing of the shots is stunning, and the underlying message is powerful. It also has a voice cast that includes Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray, and Greta Gerwig among many other recognizable talents. If you can’t tell already, I’m barking mad for this movie. — Michael
