The Grand Budapest Hotel



What I liked:

  • It's a Wes Anderson film so it's delightfully quirky.
  • Ralph Fiennes was highly entertaining.
  • Jude Law has a lovely voice.
  • Hair and makeup on Tilda Swinton alone was amazing let alone what they did to the rest of the cast.  I would not be surprised if they received an Oscar nomination for this.
  • Loved Saoirse Ronan's accent.
  • Tony Revolori was great.
  • The rest of the cast was charming: F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Jason Schwartzman, Léa Seydoux, Tom Wilkinson, Owen Wilson, Larry Pine, Fisher Stevens, and Bob Balaban. 
  • Loved the use of light and color.

What I didn't like: 
  • There was something that with the story that just didn't jive with me.
Side note:
  • Like those little cakes?  Learn more here.

Grade: B+
