Their success is our own, just as their failures and subsequent renewal through the diligence and love of their estranged patriarch, Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) shine with an honesty and humour that renders the individual experiences of the family universal.
Magical moments like Margot's reunion with Richie set to the shimmering melancholia of Nico's "These Days" and the rocket-propelled sequence featuring Royal and his grandsons set to the sound of The Ramones' "Judy Is A Punk" are ultra-modern, cinematic high-water marks and lose nothing in their translation to the small screen.
