"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is superbly written, wonderfully cast, and a feast to look at.

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2014)

Wes Anderson's 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' is so delicate and ornate it is a visual feast to look at. The movie is done briskly in chronological order that you feel as though you're watched a bustling kitchen of cooks rushing to make their next meal, Anderson does this intentionally and what we don't know is: The meal was warm and ready since the very beginning. Ralph Fiennes and F. Murray Abraham star as the legendary concierge and his pupil. Resulting in long, fast-paced scenes in which we watch them walking quickly through the ostentatious halls of the Hotel. Wes Anderson's sets are lovely as usual, his writing is fast and funny, it never feels bogged down by its subject matter, and the acting from the studded cast is superb, each actor and actress play there character exactly as they'd like, making it easier to like the characters themselves. The cast includes; Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, Jude Law, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Saoirse Ronan, Bill Murray, Bob Balaban, Edward Norton, Willem Dafoe, Mathieu Amalric, Léa Seydoux, Jeff Goldblum, Jason Shwartzman, Harvey Keitel, Tom Wilkinson, Owen Wilson, and Tony Revolori as the young "Zero Moustafa."
