About
Acting Like You're in A Wes Anderson Film is a trend on TikTok in which users post videos filmed in the cinematography style of Wes Anderson movies under a variation of the catchphrase and caption, "You better not be acting like you're in a Wes Anderson film." The trend began in April 2023 and became increasingly popularized throughout the month.
Origin

Let a girl day dream!" The video is filmed to resemble Wes Anderson's style of cinematography and gained over 11 million views in just under two weeks (shown below).
