Critics Consensus

Typically stylish but deceptively thoughtful, The Grand Budapest Hotel finds Wes Anderson once again using ornate visual environments to explore deeply emotional ideas.

At this hotel, anything impossible can be possible! As Zero takes a new job as a lobby boy at the Grand Budapest Hotel, he and the concierge get entangled with a murder investigation and are forced to go on the run, with some enemies in pursuit. A funny, stylish and surreal story of loyalty that Wes Craven manages to make it seem flawless!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's worth the price of admission simply for Ralph Fiennes' performance alone. An entertaining journey through a fairy tale-like story from the imagination of a gifted Wes Anderson.

Wes Anderson blends his trademark fanciness with a more rompish style of humour than usual.

"Times have changed." It's an elemental Wes Anderson lament...

Times (UK)

Discerning travellers and Wes Anderson fans will luxuriate in the glorious Mittel-European kitsch of one of the director's funniest and most exquisitely designed movies in years.

Christopher Connor

The Film Magazine

It’s not hard to see why The Grand Budapest Hotel has gleaned such love over the past seven years. It is a perfect encapsulation of the best of Anderson’s works, with its fast-paced dialogue and candy coloured visual palette

For the Win (USA Today)

Perhaps the filmmaker’s most culturally relevant works, The Grand Budapest Hotel saw Anderson flex his production design chops as hard as he ever had.

Filmmaker Magazine

...a variety of post-production work is highlighted, from color correction of the typically fastidiously coordinated hotel to the mechanics of the dizzying climactic downhill mountain chase...
