14A. Gustave H. is a prestigious man who owns and operates The Grand Budapest Hotel, a popular and luxurious ski resort in Europe. Everything is going smoothly when suddenly, one of Gustave’s lovers mysteriously dies. All of a sudden, he inherits an extremely valuable painting and is being accused of the woman’s murder. This movie follows Gustave and his lobby boy Zero as they travel all over Europe to outrun the police and the woman’s homicidal family.

This comedy/crime film is truly one of a kind. It’s packed with captivating, thrilling, and amusing moments that did not fail to entertain the audience. The friendship and loyalty within this movie is one that you do not want to miss. Wes Anderson’s signature sets and cinematography truly stands out in this movie, with its high-speed plot that progresses in such an animated way that makes you feel the lively, thrilling way the characters felt.

The dialogue was always humorous no matter the grave circumstances. Ralph Fiennes (Gustave H.) and Tony Revolori (Zero) put on a beautiful performance and expressed their characters in a remarkable way. I believe that they fully played their roles to perfection. Also, the award-winning music truly stands above all in this film.

I recommend this movie to people who want to enjoy a comedic, wacky movie and have some laughs.

If you enjoyed this movie, I would recommend some other of Wes Anderson’s classics, such as Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Darjeeling Limited, and Life Aquatic.

If you prefer other movies with the same wacky feeling as this one, I recommend Napoleon Dynamite by Jared Hess, or Hot Rod by Akiva Schaffer.
