Another Solid Wes Anderson Outing

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2015)

The adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous hotel from the fictional Republic of Zubrowka between the first and second World Wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend.
This is the highest-grossing Wes Anderson film to date, as well as his highest budget. Some (particularly IMDb voters) would say it is his best. Perhaps. On first viewing, "Moonrise Kingdom" was the stronger, more cohesive film... but this one may take a bit more time to sink in, and may require multiple viewings.
Certainly it has Harvey Keitel in one of his better roles, as well as a near-endless stream of great actors, many of whom (Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Jason Schwartzman, etc. etc.) have worked with Anderson repeatedly. This may be the film that will grow in stature as the years go on.
