The Grand Budapest Hotel

Tali: The Grand Budapest Hotel is the latest Wes Anderson flick, featuring some old casting favorites and some brilliant new choices. The story follows a hotel concierge and his lobby boy, as they try to plan a brilliant escape and redemption for the concierge (who is falsely accused of murder). This is perhaps Anderson's darkest, or most adult film, but don't let that deter you in any way. It is just as visually stunning, excruciatingly, meticulously detailed and incredibly enjoyable as all of his other films - and than some. Every character is likeable, the one-liners are memorable. One of the best films in a long time. 90/100.

Leo: In an interview, Saoirse Ronan (plays Agatha in the movie) said "It was amazing. It was literally like stepping into a world that you know can only be created by one man". And that really expresses what it's like to watch all of Wes Anderson's movies. I would say this movie is a Wes Anderson movie for Wes Anderson fans. Some people will not get it (those poor fools), but if you do, you will love it. I would actually say this story itself was more interesting than his other movies because there was a bit of a nostalgic element and incredible cast (usual cast plus all stars like Ralph Fiennes). It was also a bit more graphic than usual which is always exciting. 93/100.
