I always feel good when I vote for a movie and you end up liking it. I still feel a little guilty about that Winnie the Pooh movie! I haven’t been to a movie theater since The Force Awakens so I’m living vicariously through you a bit.
Well, I'm glad you like Wes Anderson, Nabin, because everything of his I've seen leaves me cold. Or to quote Toby Jones when he appeared on DOCTOR WHO, "You have so many quirks you could open up a quirk shop!"
With the Coen brothers no longer making films together Wes Anderson is our preeminent film perfectionist. He makes sure everything in the frame is perfect and means something.
In Anderson films the adults are often lost, but the kids are all right. The distance in this film is what, to me turns this into his most heartfelt movie since Moonrise Kingdom. It's about a creator trying to figure himself out through a play, and actors trying to figure themselves out through the characters they portray. In the play and in the real life it's the kids who are all right. The actors and the adults and the writer and the adult characters are trying very hard but the kids just get it, they just are. They don't care how many nesting boxes there are, or ironic distance, or even motivation.
I teach so I see a lot of kids. Wes Anderson just gets them. Maybe not literally, I don't think kids in his movies are realistic. His heart, though, it understands them.

Wham bam thank you Wes!
