The Grand Budapest Hotel
On the whole, critics felt that the film missed the mark as an adaptation. Robbie Collin, writing for "The Telegraph", dismissed the film as "a classic Zweig narrative, as tight and prickly as a thorn-bush, pruned into a shapeless, leafy clump", while David Hughes of "Empire" advised "If you only watch one Stefan Zweig-inspired film this year, watch The Grand Budapest Hotel. If you watch two, see The Grand Budapest Hotel twice".
