Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2016)

One of the strangest, most hilarious films I have seen in a long time. This was my first Wes Anderson film, and I have to say that I will be checking out more of his movies in the future. An absurdist tale about friendship and violence. There is almost nothing wrong with this movie other than that it is too short and ends a bit too abruptly. Ralph Fiennes is brilliant in this movie, and it is truly a criminal offense that he wasn't nominated for an Oscar. Bradley Cooper, Micheal Keaton, and Eddie Redmayne should have never been nominated over Ralph Fiennes. The only performance that was better than Fiennes' in that year was Jake Gyllenhall's in Nightcrawler. But, Nightcrawler was definitely not as good a film as Grand Budapest. Heartfelt, Hilarious, and Heartbreaking. Easily the best film of 2014. 10 out of 10. There really isn't much to say but see it, love it, and watch it again. I know I did.
