Saddled with a one-track plot and dry performances that never really go anywhere, even when the story literally goes off the rails.
10/05/07
Here, as in his two prior outings, Anderson's arch, highly artificial style gets in the way of character and emotional development, rendering pic piquant rather than profound.
09/04/07
It's an affected film about disaffected people, and no cast in the world could save it.
10/19/07
A Wes Anderson film is like a snow globe: it's hermetically sealed, precious, and pointless.
02/22/08
It's hard to know ... whether I've simply had it up to here with Anderson's archly cute portrayals of the troubles and eccentricities of the fabulously well-to-do.
10/12/07
Painful to watch.
10/13/07
Anderson's films have been a series of diminishing returns after the delightful Rushmore. The Darjeeling Limited is easy to admire but hard to like.
02/28/08
The Darjeeling Limited is like an artist attempting to play back the exact same song, note for note. It's almost always better the first time.
10/06/07
The Darjeeling Limited, the latest self-satisfied exercise in style over substance from writer-director Wes Anderson, will amuse his cult followers -- as well as Anderson himself and his pals, of course -- but probably nobody else.
10/12/07
Top CriticThe pacing is gruelingly slow, with too much attention paid to needless cinematic flourishes.
10/18/07
"The Darjeeling Limited" is a dud where even its lame attempts at slapstick comedy fall flat.
09/28/07
Only on screen for a few moments, Anjelica Huston provides the most moving experience in this odd, self-indulgent film about oddness and self-indulgence.
10/19/07
Maybe Anderson needs to shoot someone else's screenplay, to get outside his own head for a while and into another's sensibility. It's telling that his funniest and liveliest recent work was a commercial for American Express.
09/28/07
...the sort of pretentious empty exercise that gives arthouse films a bad name.
10/26/07
For all Anderson’s pleasing, refreshing auteur tendencies, the overwhelming feeling delivered by ‘The Darjeeling Limited’ is of frustration, déjà vu and little progression.
