Estranged brothers Francis (Owen Wilson), Peter (Adrien Brody) and Jack (Jason Schwartzman) reunite for a train trip across India. The siblings have not spoken in over a year, ever since their father passed away. Francis is recovering from a motorcycle accident, Peter cannot cope with his wife's pregnancy, and Jack cannot get over his ex-lover. The brothers fall into old patterns of behavior as Francis reveals the real reason for the reunion: to visit their mother in a Himalayan convent.

when everything falls into place, as it does for much of The Darjeeling Limited, [Anderson’s] movies give way to something far deeper than film geekery.

What of the characters? Well, there aren't any, really.

Wes Anderson transports his arch, pristine, melancholic sensibility to India, where three estranged brothers meet after their father's death and hop a train in a quixotic attempt to heal their spiritual wounds.

As stylish as any Anderson-directed feature, The Darjeeling Limited is served best by its performances, as well as its touching blend of sadness and humour.

Far from Anderson's best work, The Darjeeling Limited offers enough dysfunctional family antics and care-free adventure to keep things interesting. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5

Considering the amounts of dry kooky humor, it may surprise some people to find this much heart. But Anderson has always had a knack for that.

Brilliant work once again by Wes Anderson. Very intelligently written and told. Amazing cinematography and settings make this visually stunning. Very capable cast all excel in character. Heartwarming and charming. Filled with drama, intrigue, emotion, suspense, dilemma, awkwardness and humor. Very entertaining and captivating

The Darjeeling Limited is funny, melancholic, gorgeous, occasionally frustrating, and surprisingly tender. It may not have the emotional knockout power of The Royal Tenenbaums, but it has a particular sadness that lingers. It’s a movie about grief disguised as a quirky adventure—and beneath all the colors, symmetry, deadpan humor, and immaculate luggage, it’s simply a story about three brothers trying to find their way back to each other.
