It's an affected film about disaffected people, and no cast in the world could save it.

Reviews for The Darjeeling Limited
Top CriticThis film is indeed Limited -- in appeal, sincerity and substance.
10/19/07
Top CriticEven those invested in the idea that the journey is the destination may feel they've taken a train to nowhere.
10/19/07
Top CriticNone of this is as amusing as the writers ostensibly imagine it to be.
10/12/07
Top CriticThe Darjeeling Limited is a step toward maturity for Anderson, too. His visual ideas are still overcalculated and the tone is often precious, but emotionally he seems to have expanded.
10/12/07
Top CriticWhat this movie has going for itself in spite of its cloying pleas for indulgence is a playful and interesting narrative structure that precludes much development and comes to the fore only toward the end.
10/12/07
Top CriticThe 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 CriticBrothers and other strangers ride The Darjeeling Limited, Wes Anderson's captivating road movie that views life as a Great Train of Being.
10/11/07
Top CriticDripping with Wes Anderson's patented blend of whimsy and melancholy, The Darjeeling Limited is the story of three brothers traveling across India in search of themselves.
10/11/07
Top CriticThe Darjeeling Limited works best when the level of artifice is at its highest and most overt.
10/09/07
Top CriticIt is a delight to look at, with its vibrant colors, iconic images and exotic setting, and the film has a meandering feel that captures the sense of trekking across India.
10/06/07
Top CriticThe movie runs deepest when the brothers finally deal with their baggage, both real and metaphysical.
10/05/07
Top CriticA frustrating movie, a work of immaturity from a director who should be past the empty gestures and self-protective distance of his early work.
10/05/07
Top CriticAn easy movie to admire but more difficult to like. Technically and thematically, there's a lot in The Darjeeling Limited to arrest the attention. Emotionally, there's a void.
10/05/07
Top CriticThe preciousness of this new enterprise pollutes the human relationships until everything seems like a pose.
10/05/07
Top CriticA better film [than Life Aquatic], warmer, more engaging, funnier and very surrounded by India, that nation of perplexing charm.
10/05/07
Top CriticDysfunctional families are as common on screen as off, but director Wes Anderson has a flair for making his clans seem bizarrely unique and yet recognizable too.
10/05/07
Top CriticThe film about three brothers in the wake of their dad's death is a pleasurable journey to nowhere, but it's worth the ride.
10/04/07
Top CriticThe Darjeeling Limited has its charms, chief of which is watching three terrific actors evince with unforced ease the rewards and resentments of brotherhood.
10/04/07
Top CriticHowever irregular the beat, this one has a heart.
