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 The 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 The 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 Jack Walters Loud and Clear Reviews "The Grand Budapest Hotel is Wes Anderson’s greatest cinematic achievement yet, bursting with bold visuals and dynamic storytelling." Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 18, 2025 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 Read all reviews
