Wes Anderson creates another beautiful film

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2014)

It appears that Wes Anderson is the director that a-list actors from all genres and discipline are waiting to work with. Here, again, Anderson has evoked hilarity, pity, empathy, hatred, love and pure profundity from the endearing, warmest scenes to the most odd to mildly violent of scenes. Combining actors into one project whom you could not have imagined would ever work together (Tilda Swinton, Jeff Goldblum, F. Murray Abraham).
I didn't find a single sin committed in the continuity department (perhaps some difficult to find instances are likely to be there, even in an Anderson film). Art direction: Superb, Script/dialog: a joy. Comedic factor: Always present. Suspense: Perfectly executed. The Grand Budapest Hotel is as good as it gets in terms of pure film-making for the love of making a film. Good enough to not be forgotten in a year when the Oscars return in 2015. Wes Anderson may not win best director or Grand Budapest Hotel may not garner Best Picture. But I know there's a "best" in this film.
Anderson will win, it's only a matter of waiting until Hollywood has decided that he's earned his chops.
Please go pay to see and support the cast a crew that worked so hard to create a beautiful film that will no doubt stand the test of time and continue to be watched for decades to come.
