Darjeeling Limited

Pros: Adrien Brody is really good (and solely responsible for the second star)
Cons: Boring, self-indulgent, turgid crap from Wes Anderson. 

I understand the phenomenon of the cult of personality.  There are some film directors that consistently capture the mindset or emotional tenor or simply the fascination of a segment of movie-goers.   But as much as I understand it, I ...

Pros: Natalie Portman! Wes Anderson's quirky humor. Acting.
Cons: Film drags in many points, doesn't know when to end.

I like Wes Anderson, I will tell you that right up front. I even loved The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou that my friends found rather boring. I finally got to see Anderson's latest opus The Darjeeling Limited Natalie Naked? - The ...

Pros: Anderson's directing style, Owen, Portman
Cons: jumpy conclusion, can leave you wishing for more detail

Wes Anderson’s short but dominating track record including Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums continues with The Darjeeling Limited. His style further evolves with this next piece and he persists in his loyal adherence to Hemingway’s Iceberg ...

Pros: Great cast, amazing scenery
Cons: May be too off-beat for general audiences

The Darjeeling Limited is an oddball movie about three brothers who go on a spiritual journey through India. It stars Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman as the brothers. This movie was directed by Wes Anderson, who previously did ...

Pros: poignant, richly detailed, symbolic, full of mysteries and clues
Cons: not hilarious so much as ironic, slow to develop

Writer-director Wes Anderson trades in tragicomedy. The characters who inhabit his tales are usually family members in oblivion, odd characters fated for estrangement by their individual oddities, but who struggle heroically to forge, or save, the kinds ...

Pros: The entire cast, visuals, humour, family themes
Cons: Nothing really, it just drags in the second half a bit

Perhaps one of the most anticipated movies of the year is one that’s selling tickets like wildfire—and no, I’m not talking about a blockbuster movie, but an independent film on limited release by none other than one of the hipsters of cinema, ...

Pros: ...
Cons: ...

There's a whole lot to admire about Wes Anderson's latest film, The Darjeeling Limited, but I still found myself liking it a bit less than most of his previous films, and as such, am having a rather difficult time writing this damned review. It's ...

Pros: Anderson's visuals, The Soundtrack, Good Performances
Cons: Not Wes Anderson's best film, Slow Beginning

The Darjeeling Limited Starring: Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Adrien Brody Directed by: Wes Anderson Written by: Wes Anderson, Roman Coppola, and Jason Schwartzman 3.5 Out of 5 Wes Anderson has returned with a new ensemble member ...

Pros: Anderson's Direction, Script, Cinematography, Location, Look, Soundtrack, & Cast.
Cons: None, Unless You Don't Quirky Humor or Themes.

Known for his quirky, heartfelt, and melancholic films, Wes Anderson is among one of the modern auteurs of the 21st Century. Along with fellow American directors like Sofia Coppola and David Gordon Green, Anderson is among those as part of the new ...

Pros: Quite funny, very emotional, great quirks, fine acting
Cons: Not all lose ends are wrapped up, perhaps a little too short

Tonight was perhaps the night I had been looking foreword to most all year. Being a huge fan of Wes Anderson this would mark the first time I had seen one of his films in theaters and after viewing the trailer time after time and reading early reviews I ...

Pros: script, performance, direction
Cons: Some may be turned off by Anderson's distant characters and obvious metaphors.

I have a really strong relationship with Wes Anderson movies, but it's not an easy one. His pictures are an acquired taste, a difficult mixture of painful human emotion, quirky characters, and deadpan comedy. The tone is often so dry it's hard to figure ...

Pros: humor, casting, offbeat charm, shooting style
Cons: None

I dug The Darjeeling Limited. I thought it was pretty good. It's about three brothers, all estranged from one another who go on a journey through India to reconnect with their mother, who has gone missing into the country. It's a Wes Anderson film so ...

Pros: The Cinematography, Style and Soundtrack
Cons: The comedy is a little too subdued to completely satisfy

At his dialogue sponsored by the New York Film Festival, Wes Anderson responded to criticism that he has simply been re-treading his earlier work (i.e. Rushmore) in his latest features, including The Darjeeling Limited. Some people are going to do ...

Pros: Decent enough acting, Good DVD extras
Cons: Oppressive mood, boring, Low on character development, Dismal plot

In the DVD bonus features for one of his films, writer-director Kevin Smith talks about his early films and describes them as essentially rewriting the same film different ways. He has a pretty unified theme over the first few films and hid that fact ...

Pros: Cast; quirkiness offbeat; not laugh out loud funny but brings smiles
Cons: You either like Wes Anderson's movies or you do not; no middle ground for most

THE DARJEELING LIMITED is another one of those offbeat quirky comedies with a spiritual message of dealing with life and family. There is some irony in the fact that Owen Wilson made his suicide attempt shortly after this film wrapped, although nothing ...
