Please see this film! Adrian Brody and Mark Ruffalo are fantastic as the title characters in this cat and mouse chase about two brothers who make their way through the world as con artists. Many of the nuances are never explained and that way the film never loses its novelty, such as Boom-Boom. Where did she come from, why does she never speak and why does she leave without reason?
This is defintely a love story that epitomises romance. But asks the modern question: who rescues who? Does Brody's character, Bloom rescue Weisz's Penelope from the castle or does Penelope rescue Bloom from his life of crime? Or perhaps it is in fact Ruffalo's Stephen that rescues them both by giving them something greater than themselves to live for: their love. In the end, everyone really does get what they want as Rian Johnson depicts a beautiful, quarky and adventurous Wes Anderson-esque film that everyone should see and fall in love with.
"I've been doing a lot of thinking and the thing is, I love you."
