Very Fun and Charming Film that Will Surely Stand the Test of Time,

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2015)

The Grand Budapest Hotel is a fantastic movie with a very well developed storyline and an outstanding comedic cast.I haven't been a huge fan of some of the previous films I've seen by Wes Anderson,I understand that he is a very creative and unique film maker,but his directing style is just a little too weird for me,but it didn't bother me with this movie,it is just hilarious,looney and it never would have been this much fun had it not been for Wes Andersons very talented mind,it's certainly my favourite film I've seen from him to date and I will have to check out some more of his work.The cast is absolutely superb,with many of Andersons usual cast members as well as some new faces,but none of them manage to take the spotlight away from Ralph Fiennes,Mr Gustave is a very different character who I found absolutely charming,his dialogue was outstanding and I've never been so taken away by Fiennes as an actor before,certainly one of his finest characters and I couldn't imagine anyone else in this role,his dialogue with newcomer Tony Revolori was spectacular and one of the movies highlights,they worked together so well.I felt like the movie certainly could have been longer,it is very quick and fun which certainly wasn't an issue,but another forty minutes of this wouldn't have been a problem either.A very fun ride that never stops being interesting,there is certainly nothing like the Grand Budapest Hotel and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy or adventure film.
The adventures of a hotel concierge and his lobby boy as they take part in a battle for a family fortune after the robbery of a very rare painting.
Best Performance: Ralph Fiennes
