Ruskington Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Highly overrated movie, heavily redeemed by the brilliant Ralph Fiennes

[5/10 · 30 October 2021]

I'm no fan of Wes Anderson movies and Grand Budapest Hotel is sadly no exception. It's quirky, easy on the eye and often quite funny but at all times it feels like you're watching a stage production that thinks it's cleverer than it actually is. Fiennes, however, is absolutely sublime.
