Glorious entertainment

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2014)

If you like escapism, with a capital 'E', you will love this other-worldly movie. Pure joy from start to finish, it is delicious cinematic perfection and one of the most entertaining movie experiences that I've had in years. Beautifully shot like an adult fairy-tale, this is truly creative story-telling at it's absolute finest. The highly skilled outstanding performances from the entire cast and the director Wes Anderson are all Oscar worthy. I never really "got" Ralph Fiennes before, but now I get him, his comedic timing is note perfect. A hilarious and wickedly lovable adventure, this movie is a joy to watch, an epic feast for the eyes. It's refreshing and gorgeous, so do yourself a favour - go see it.
