Review of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012) by Nelson A. R — 19 Dec 2012
THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL is absolutely delightful. The ensemble performance is one of the year's best (especially Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, and the high-energy, high-stakes, full-of-heart Dev Patel.
) I thought the script was a little over-long and got a bit tedious towards the end, but it did set-up the conclusion very nicely and benefited from the strong cast and no-fuss direction that allowed them to shine.
The film has a lovely message of making the most of your life and learning to roll with the punches no matter what age you are. The film made me nostalgic for Mike Leigh's films and wish it had that organic sensibility.
