"Wes Anderson's second movie is one of his best, and shows his characteristic style much more polished. More commonly known by its original title, Rushmore, this film also marked the beginning of the director's collaborations with Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray, whose career took a second wind. The two form one of the most atypical duos of nineties cinema, between naivety and desperation, making them a real delight on screen."
