Extraordinary! Much better than Birdman

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2018)

The Grand Budapest Hotel was robbed of numerous Oscars when it was in my opinion a significantly better film than Birdman. Everything in TGBH is flawless! The cinematography is gorgeous. The script is deeply engaging. The directing evidences such a high level of detail. The makeup and costumes are admiring to glance at. Wes Anderson creates such a beautiful and fanciful story woven between two horrific periods of endless conflict. It is remarkable both as mere entertainment, and for artfully weaving comedy and the futility of war implication in such a satisfying manner. It is enjoyable to watch over and over again. Anderson has created arguably his best film to date!
