What to Know

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.

Edward Porter Times (UK) Wes Anderson blends his trademark fanciness with a more rompish style of humour than usual. Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting "Times have changed." It's an elemental Wes Anderson lament... Rated: 4.5/5 May 30, 2020 Full Review Kate Muir Times (UK) 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. Jan 2, 2018 Full Review Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite “The Grand Budapest Hotel” may be an audiovisual feast, but what makes it an artistic marvel is that its dynamic style enhances the narrative’s focus on its primary characters through different decades. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Christopher Connor The Film Magazine It’s not hard to see why The Grand Budapest Hotel has gleaned such love over the past seven years. It is a perfect encapsulation of the best of Anderson’s works, with its fast-paced dialogue and candy coloured visual palette Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) Perhaps the filmmaker’s most culturally relevant works, The Grand Budapest Hotel saw Anderson flex his production design chops as hard as he ever had.

John R Masterpiece as usual from Wes Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review don c Beautifully filmed with a stellar class, a unique triumph in every way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Rodney D The pinnacle of Wes Anderson's filmmaking, The Grand Budapest Hotel showcases his finest storytelling, outstanding performances, and signature visual style in perfect harmony. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Jens B 🏩 The Grand Budapest Hotel marks the point in Anderson's body of work where his artificial worldview culminates with a warmth that he’s often, unfairly, accused of lacking. In other words, in this film, Anderson perfects his camerawork, his interplay with set design and color palettes, and his choice of actors. 🏔️ The fairy-tale setting is ideal for a crime comedy featuring an unresolved murder, numerous suspects, and quirky characters. The tone remains humorous throughout, though the absurdity of events is tempered by well-placed moments of empathy. ⚡️ It's an absolute delight from start to finish—a film like a treasure chest that beams its contents at the audience. Occasionally, however, when political events start to take center stage, unsettling parallels to the present day emerge, and the laughter catches in your throat for a moment. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Teo M Great movie! The fast paced nature of the movie leaves the viewer immersed in the movie. The quick camera movements and symmetrical cinematography set a great feel to the movie. It feels unique and vintage. The colors pop throughout the whole movie making the vintage and unique style enhance. It has a certain comedic value though out the film that helps the movie feel fast paced and keeps your spirits high. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Rob A Funny, visually appealing and decidedly different, this Wes Anderson comedy features an ensemble, super all-star cast. Can you imagine a job that requires you to wear a "Lobby Boy" cap?? Hahaha everyone should watch this once. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
