Calling Wes Andersons Fans
"Working in a self-consciously quirky key that owes a strong debt to Wes Anderson's Rushmore, [director Garth] Jennings keeps his busy pieces in harmonious play, creating a miniaturized world as detailed, painstakingly determined and insulated as an ant farm. He crams the frame with bright colors and comic bits of business; tosses in an interloper, a French Billy Idol called Didier (Jules Sitruk); and makes room for the occasional melancholic stretch. And although the film’s visual style feels more borrowed than organic, there’s enough truth to [the lead characters'] actions -- and to the uninflected, touching performances of the two young leads -- to keep the film humming along, even when Mr. Jennings veers into sentimentality and lets one too many tear drop." -- from Manohla Dargis' N.Y. Times 5.2 review of Son of Rambow.

I loved this movie. Gave it a lot of slack, beccause even though it has the Rushmore vibe, it was done with a British acccent, which instantly makes it a classier affair.

It's also utterly devoid of the detached Anderson hipsterism that seems to piss so many people off.
It's not a perfect movie, but there's a sincerity to it and a charm that makes it easy to overlook its flaws.

I also wouldn't call it self-conscious, though who am I to argue with Manohla?
