Review of The Darjeeling Limited (2007) by Bestpony — 02 Jan 2013

The Darjeeling Limited might be the best way to test how much you really like Anderson. The story gets lost along with the titular train and never really comes back, it's moral is delivered in an almost embarrassingly literal scene, the cameos (Murray, Portman) are entirely unnecessary, and the cooler-than-your-playlist soundtrack seems designed to make you buy a book on Indian film music.

But if you love Anderson unmistakable style, you'll gladly hop on the train along with the three fantastic main actors, content to let the director take you wherever he wishes. It's a warm, laid-back, colorful experience, essentially comfort food for a particular type of moviegoer.

If "Anderson being Anderson" sounds good to you, you won't be disappointed.
