Wes Anderson being Wes Anderson

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2017)

The iconic hyperbolic nature of Wes Anderson's movies are seen here in the 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' in all its grandeur. What makes the movie standout is the complex nature of the story and the story telling methods which has been stitched into the fabric of a Wes Anderson movie seamlessly with the help of a robust script penned by Anderson himself. While the script allows itself to discuss complex relations and emotions, the actors shine in their respective roles with Ralph Fiennes and Tony Revolori giving flawless performances.
Anyone who is familiar with Wes Anderson movies will know that the technical aspects of his movies are instrumental to his unique style of film making. This movie is no different. With brilliant cinematography, costume and production design, 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' is a visual treat.
The movie did fail me in one regard though. The story, while it is interesting, did not conclude its tale in the fashion it started in. Personally, I found it off-putting. But nonetheless, 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' is a product of Wes Anderson's mastery in his style along with some brilliant performances.
