Comedy. Adventure The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes), a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori), the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune -- all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.

	Media	Author	Review
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"An idiosyncratic period comedy that will delight connoisseurs more than the wide public. (...) both arch and sophisticated farce (...) elegant comedy"
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"It’s wonderful. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Justin Chang Variety	"Wes Anderson's captivating 1930s-set caper offers a vibrant and imaginative evocation of a bygone era (...) whose innumerable surface pleasures might just seduce you into overlooking its sly intelligence and depth of feeling."
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Over the years, Wes Anderson's movies have steadily developed a lush, eccentric world that operates on its own terms, and 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' excels at exploring it."
		Dave Calhoun Time Out	"Full of Anderson’s visual signatures – cameras that swerve, quick zooms, speedy montages – it’s familiar in style, refreshing in tone and one of Anderson’s very best films. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mark Adams Screendaily	"Wes Anderson's beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' sees the director deliver his best film."
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It's a filigreed toy box of a movie, so delicious-looking you may want to lick the screen. It is also, in the Anderson manner, shot through with humor, heartbreak and a bruised romantic's view of the past."
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"This movie makes a marvelous mockery of history, turning its horrors into a series of graceful jokes and mischievous gestures. You can call this escapism if you like. You can also think of it as revenge."
