Highly stylistic combined with a witty script and fantastic performances

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2014)

Two years ago I saw Moonrise Kingdom and was left feeling somewhat empty. After seeing The Grand Budapest Hotel I can most definitely say Wes Anderson has gotten his mojo back.
People bash Anderson for using style over substance but I think he blends the two wonderfully in this movie. We see M. Gustave develop (sort of) as he struggles through hardships he isn't familiar with.
There is also a reoccurrence of dark humor and sudden jolts of excitement throughout. But I shan't spoil anything.
Overall I highly recommend it, I saw it with my family and they all loved it as well.
