Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) by Lambo442 — 09 Dec 2014

Although the camerawork is flawless, as is the acting, the film is just too ridiculous for me. Completely fantastical and detached from reality. How anyone can call it 'heartfelt' is beyond me. How can anyone relate to any of these characters? I gave it a 5 because Ralph Fiennes has some brilliant lines which made me laugh out loud on occasions, but Wes Anderson hasn't made anything as great as Rushmore or the Royal Tenenbaums for me in terms of character development and anything that's 'heartfelt.
