The Grand Budapest Hotel (film review)



Wes Anderson's latest does not disappoint. Witty, inventive, visually striking, delightfully offbeat and quirky are just some of the adjectives that I would use to describe The Grand Budapest Hotel. The assemble cast is outstanding, but it is Ralph Fiennes who really steals the show as the charming, eccentric and ever so slightly camp concierge who is framed for murder and endeavours to clear his name with the help of his faithful lobby boy Zero. The whole cast is great but Fiennes is absolutely brilliant, possibly his best performance since The English Patient. Anderson has great fun with it all and it is hard not to warm to his creativeness and charm. Top notch entertainment. 8/10
