"Spiritual journeys, even if they're comedies, don't really lend themselves to the extreme, anal-retentive formalism found in every frame of 'The Darjeeling Limited'" | ||||
"A slow train to Dullsville that makes all local stops. You know a film is in trouble if the most interesting thing in it is the luggage. Score: ★½ (out of 4)" | ||||
"All the acting is exemplary. Brody, new to Wes' World, is revelatory as Peter" | ||||

"An odd, flawed, but nonetheless beautifully handmade object as apt to win affection as to provoke annoyance. You might say that it has sentimental value." | ||||
"[I found] myself warming to, enjoying and finally being oddly moved by [the film] (...) Anderson packs an extraordinary amount of incident and observation into a mere 90 minutes" |
