The Grand Budapest Hotel

Director Wes Anderson, known for his unique style, Rushmore and The Royal Tenembaums, has done it again. This story seems simple at first glance, but it is very complex. It is the story of a legendary hotelier who is accused of murder and struggles to bring honor to his hotel. The hotelier, Gustav, was played by Ralph Fiennes, who I have seen in The Avengers, Quiz Show, and others. Other films include The English Patient and Schindler. He has changed my impression of him since then. He got a bad rap in The Avengers, but after that awful performance, he has an indescribable charm about him in this film. The story is interesting, intelligent, and well crafted. I like the atmosphere the film creates. It has a unique and flamboyant look, a witty story, and intriguing performances. The director deserves credit for creating a unique and memorable story with especially funny gags. The film has an all-star cast. In addition to Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, who won an Oscar for Amadeus, Adrien Brody, who won an Oscar for The Pianist (The Pianist of the Battlefield), Willem Defoe for Platoon, as well as Mathieu Amalric and Jeff Goldblum, Edward Norton, Jude Law, Harvey Keitel, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Saoirse Ronan, and Tony Revolori. It's just too gorgeous. Despite such a large cast, I was able to enjoy the performances of each of them without having their personalities destroyed. In terms of direction, the aspect changes depending on the time period, allowing the audience to become more involved in the work. The quirky sets, etc. are also excellent. The film is a military masterpiece in terms of direction, and the intelligent story and the cast full of personalities make it an enjoyable film.

I don't really get it tbh but it is beautiful soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

not bad movie, but not good either. The story is really miss & match, visual is decent, and the voice is also decent

It presents itself as a particular film, but at times it is not clear what the plot and purpose of the film are, it tries to be funny at times without succeeding and ends up being often boring as well as incomprehensible. At times unwatchable

I wish I could at least give this a mixed review, as I'm such great fan of Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Tennenbaums etc... but with this overcooked mess of a star-studded cheap shot, Wes totally loses me in boredom and overbakes aesthetic. It seems Wes bought into his own hype. I'd love to see Wes break out of square he's painted himself into. I saw this in theaters and if someone told me this was actually a parody film of a Wes Anderson film, I'd believe them. One word, overcooked. And if you want two words, overcooked and overhyped. If you've been watching Wes since the beginning, there's no denying that Wes has drank his own pigeonholed Kool Aid.
