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.

"Times have changed." It's an elemental Wes Anderson lament...

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.

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

Wes Anderson’s best movie so far, please watch this. Ralph Fiennes is sensational, there are no negatives about this film. Total screen pleasure!

Beautiful photograpy, the camera work and the settings are incredible. The story is well written but never takes itself seriously, that can be a merit but also it limits the immertion. it all feels like a theater act more than a blockbuster movie. the acting is very good.
