The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) - [10/10]
I've spent a long time trying to word this review... and I can't. This film is amazing. It's spectacular. Every little thing about it is perfect (aside from a few continuity errors, but I only first noticed them on my fourth viewing) much like the exquisite mise en scène. It is beautifully written, masterfully directed, and wonderfully executed. I have nothing but compliments for The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), so I'll keep this review short. With excellent production design, spectacular performances, and camera movements and shots that fill you with satisfaction, this film is a cinematic experience and masterpiece. It is rewatchable. It has small significant details that you won't notice until a second or third viewing, so it makes each viewing a new experience. Everything is perfect, just like Wes Anderson's symmetrical framing. Like the imaginary Mendel's Courtesan au Chocolat delicacies, The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) is a delightful treat that you will not be able to get enough of.
