Critics Consensus

Typically stylish but deceptively thoughtful, The Grand Budapest Hotel finds Wes Anderson once again using ornate visual environments to explore deeply emotional ideas.

Wes Anderson blends his trademark fanciness with a more rompish style of humour than usual.

Discerning travellers and Wes Anderson fans will luxuriate in the glorious Mittel-European kitsch of one of the director's funniest and most exquisitely designed movies in years.

Fiennes is magical; a perfect vessel for Andersonisms, the savior of the show.

It's no wonder that Anderson lets this layered tale of friendship, war, fascism and tragedy hang off his leading man.

When you think of the equipment used to make Taklies in 1932 and what Hollywood was capable of 8 years later (Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz) be proud to be an American. This is no masterpiece but none the less enjoyable. We have legends like Greta Garbo chewing the scenery, a very young Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery and 2 of the Barrymore brothers. What is this is about? That's above my pay grade. Could be rich people pretending to be the same as us and poor people having one last roll of the dice but before they shuffle off this mortal coil. And then 42 minutes in you hear one of film making most famous lines spoken by Garbo "I WANT TO BE ALONE". Now how many can say I never knew it was coming. This played for 11 months in L.A.

Amazing Wes Anderson film! I can see why other people love it, but I prefer his stop-motion films to his live-action ones.
