About this movie

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of legendary concierge Gustave H. and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft of a priceless painting; a raging battle for an enormous family fortune; and a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sleds, and skis - all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing continent.

Ratings and reviews

I felt it dragged too long with the story, there was bits where it was what the? It seemed to base around a secret society as well, ( note the keys on the concierge's lapel). I am glad I watched it, but feel disappointed, the acting was good, the storyline dragged.

A well acted and skittish script that has all the unusual flavourings of eastern European novelists. I went away taking neither good nor bad from it. Watchable but not memorable. The accents were awful. I'm not sure what country has well bred English, broad Irish, a varied of American accents - WTF??

A good story with real good cinematography. Some of the scenes are shot from a distance through odd angles which compliments the somewhat odd (but entirely enjoyable) story. Great acting and a captivating tale. Would recommend to people who enjoy artistic films.
