The Darjeeling Limited

Tali: The Darjeeling Limited centres around three brothers who travel through India in search of their often-disappearing mother a year after their fathers death. The Darjeeling Limited is perhaps one of Wes Anderson's most Wes-Andersony movies. The music, the cinematography, the regular cast and familiar scenes of fucked up yet incredible intimate families all all here. However, none of these things feel repetitive or forced - everything fits exactly into its place and everything feels just so right and natural. Jason Schwartz, Owen Wilson and Adrien Brody all work incredibly well together. A wonderful film--including the introductory short film, Hotel Chevalier. 88/100

Leo: This was a classic Wes Anderon movie. I do feel like I wouldn't get it if I hadn't seen most of his movies already, but fortunately I did, and I enjoyed it very much. It has all of the usual Wes Anderson stuff, the zooms and panning as well as the methodological movements and dialogue. The actors were great, and had lots of clever little tidbits that made their stories interesting. It was a well-done enjoyable, clever-funny movie that we come to expect from Wes Anderson, and definitely a worthwhile watch. Leometer: 80/100.
