“Wes Anderson’s latest cinematic styling is The Grand Budapest Hotel, an exquisitely calibrated, deadpan-comic miniature that expands in the mind and becomes richer and more tragic.”
– David Edelstein, NEW YORK MAGAZINE
“Grand Budapest is Anderson's most mature film, and his most visually witty, too.“
– Amy Nicholson, VILLAGE VOICE
“It is beautifully designed, visually ravishing and symmetrical to the nth degree. And it is full of frantic chaos, with a Lord of Misrule at its centre played with effortless comic brilliance by Ralph Fiennes.”
– Phillippa Hawker, THE AGE AUSTRALIA
“Every frame is carefully composed like the illustrations from a beloved book (characters are precisely centered; costumes are elaborately literal); the dialogue feels both unexpected and happily familiar.”
– Moira MacDonald, SEATTLE TIMES
