I immediately fell head over heels in love with this movie, another whimsical oddity from the king of whimsical oddities, Wes Anderson. This is one strange, peculiar little movie, and I imagine many who watch this aren't going to be able to make heads or tails of it. But I was transfixed from the opening moments and not only fascinated with the relationships between the oddball brothers but pretty much mesmerized by the eccentric cinematography, production design and costumes. This is a movie of moments, of little scenes that stick in your mind and even single shots that are so peculiar they can't help but tickle your fancy. All three leads are in close to every scene of this movie, and they carry it off admirably and with aplomb. Anderson regular Anjelica Huston has a couple nice scenes at the end, and keep your eyes open for a couple amusing cameos, one very fleeting toward the end. THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS remains my favorite Anderson movie, but this one is right up there.

I watched this on DVD recently. It's an odd film which I really do not want to like, and I now regret spending the time watching it, however, strangely I also enjoyed it as an experience. It annoyed me right from the off when I found it had an introduction packaged in a separate short film called 'Hotel Chevalier' which I felt obliged to watch along with it's end credits! It made no sense to me at all, except setting an atmosphere of eccentricity. Moving on to the main feature, it became a little more palatable for a while. The characters were introduced, and the train journey across India began. The film is bright and the cinamatography is appealing, as are the characters and I liked the train chase cameo. The story on the other hand is a mixed affair, which I found to be deliberately peculiar. It maintained my interest without ever arriving anywhere which I found very frustrating. I feel manipulated in a sort of friendly way, so I do recommend the film, just.

Lots if lighthearted fun but on the great plane up in the sky where Wes Anderson steals the dreams of angels and the odd devil's tail, too!

From writer-director Wes Anderson comes a story of 3 brothers going on a life-changing adventure with a supporting cast of Angelica Houston, Natalie Portman, the late Irrfran Khan and Bill Murray The main trio consists of Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman, and Owen Wilson playing Jack, Peter, and Francis They haven't spoken in a year since their fathers funeral and they happen to bump into each other while in India On a train they each decide to explore the country's vast locales and soak up its richness while looking for their mother The movie is rich and vibrant with its colors and stunning palettes The characters are kinda tough to identify with and it's not one of Anderson's finest works A lot of the supporting cast feels wasted in here too But it's genuinely lovely to watch and it's a nice simple journey of self healing and discovery to heal all kinds of wounds physical or spiritual These three brothers love each other but always show it in the not so friendliest manner Like us they have a lot to work on

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.

Newsweek

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.

For the Win (USA Today)

The central performances are just delightful, and the film’s emotional current will make you want to hug your sibling as soon as the credits run.

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]

Rated: 3.5/5

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.
