Good enough

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2015)

The movie tells the story of how Mustafa, a lobi boy, ended up owning the Grand Budapest hotel. The one thing that sticks in your mind, when you watch this movie, is the direction of it. The story is more like a contemporary fairy tell for grown ups, a simple story with some humorous circumstances that makes you laugh with the drama of the characters and their odd choices. However, that can be easily forgotten. The direction though, is the main highlight of the film. It balances between a comedy and drama, with shots that can easily remind of the old silent movies, animating films and 3D blockbusters. The cast is one of the pros of the film also, however the slightly unknown Mustafa takes the interest off the big names. So, as it can be expected by those actors, the performances are great and not over the top, as they could have easily overdone it. So 6 out of 10, because if the script as powerful as the rest of the movie, it would have been a nine.
