...love was a clinical affair; a warm body lain on ice. Entomologist, chess-player, master of three languages, and arguably the greatest prose stylist of the 20th century, the ever-meticulous Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov could reach sublime artistic heights, my interlocutor admitted—but who would want to inhabit such chilly...
Elliott and Steenburgen lend a human dimension to the roles of a small-town sheriff and his wife. The ease with which they inhabit these characters suggests that somewhere inside the charred husk of The Morgans is the premise for an O.K. movie, or maybe a sitcom, about two middle-aged marrieds who give shelter and wisdom to outsiders on the lam.

Anderson’s characters—idiosyncratic, often emotionally opaque and depressive—inhabit worlds whose visual splendor assumes the sentiment, both delicate and deliberate, of an auteur—his awareness of the history of cinema giving way to reverence and innovation in equal parts. His films identify with a generation still in turmoil over lost innocence and the transition between adolescence...
