20 Best Movies Of 2018

14. Isle Of Dogs

Isle Of Dogs
Fox Searchlight

Wes Anderson dishes up another stop-motion animated charmer with this deliciously bizarre, undeniably adorable effort that's precisely what his fans (and his detractors) will expect.

Amassing his usual band of loyal cast members alongside new recruit Bryan Cranston, Anderson teases wonderful performances out of the ensemble while delivering beautifully offbeat visuals to bolster the quietly affecting narrative.

You know what you're getting with Anderson most of the time, but Isle of Dogs is a film that oozes confidence without ever feeling like its esteemed filmmaker is just playing the hits.

And in case you didn't realise, Isle of Dogs = I Love Dogs. Life changing.
