thoughts on the grand budapest hotel

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2019)

Another fantastic Anderson film. Other than the obvious/expected Anderson style that we all know and love, The Grand Budapest Hotel showcases some great writing and execution.
The characters were well written and enjoyable to watch. Personally, I found the beginning slightly confusing and at first wasn't really sure who was the narrator until later on in the film. The character/relationship development wasn't forced and felt natural following the plot.
This films story line is what I think was the most stand out about it. Sometimes a selective few of Anderson films can seem to slightly blur together in my mind but I think The Grand Budapest Hotel did a good job of being unique and different in terms of the story. (Moonrise Kingdom is another film that does this really well)
