Rushmore Ratings & Reviews
- John RevelsFebruary 5, 2025Rushmore is Wes Anderson’s cinematic love letter to overachievers, underdogs, and anyone who’s ever mistaken unearned confidence for charm. The film is a masterclass in deadpan humor, meticulously symmetrical shots, and the kind of dialogue that’s both hilariously awkward and weirdly profound. Bill Murray delivers peak sad-sack energy, and the British Invasion soundtrack makes everything feel cooler than it has any right to. Rushmore is about ambition, heartbreak, and the painful realization that you’re not a genius—just really, really enthusiastic.
