Anderson's movies keep getting better (although I liked Rushmore the most) but are still really only for a select few.

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2014)

"I knew there was something fishy. We never got the cause of death. She's been murdered and you think I did it." Gustave H (Fiennes) is a concierge at the legendary Grand Budapest Hotel. He is the best at what he does and receives respect from everyone. After one of his frequent guests dies she leaves him a rare and expensive painting in her will. When it turns out that he is the prime suspect in her death him and his young protégé set off on an adventure avoiding the cops and trying to find the real killer. Wes Anderson is one of the most original directors to come along but most people either love or hate his work. This one will do nothing to change that. He just isn't a main stream type guy and that's OK. Much like Woody Allen he has a niche and plays that up. There isn't really much else to say about this one. If you like Wes Anderson movies you will like this one, if you don't you won't. Overall, Anderson's movies keep getting better (although I liked Rushmore the most) but they are still really only for a select few. I did like this though. I give it a B.
