Subtle, Clever and Hilariously Funny

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2016)

I wasn't sure what to expect from this film but too say I was pleasantly surprised is a massive understatement....
The casting was exemplarily, Ralph Fiennes was magical to watch and played the straight-tongue in cheek role of the deliciously warped Mr Gustave with aplomb and to my utter amazement.
The cameo role of William Defoe as the unforgiving henchman was brilliantly underplayed as were the supporting roles of the host of big name stars popping in for short appearances.
I guess the two main things that make this movie was the writing and the pace and direction, both were first class, a mixture of straight to the point humour and veiled sarcasm which left me laughing almost every minute of the 99 minutes of pure delight in this fast paced brilliant piece of comedic film-making.
I realise that this film might not be to everyones taste especially if sarcasm is not your thing, but nonetheless it's still a highly enjoyable and fantastic film which I'm sure you would find very funny.
This film is right up there with my all time favourites already....if there's a second helping I'd be even more happier.
