What of the characters? Well, there aren't any, really.
March 12, 2014 | Full Review… -
Wes Anderson transports his arch, pristine, melancholic sensibility to India, where three estranged brothers meet after their father's death and hop a train in a quixotic attempt to heal their spiritual wounds.
March 12, 2014 | Full Review… -
The film as a whole operates in Mr. Anderson's patented, semi-precious zone of antic and droll. It's not as if the filmmaker has gone off the rails. He's just not solidly on them.

Anderson is evidently encumbered by his own cargo. Louis Vuitton it may be, but the overriding sensation here suggests the endless revolutions of a baggage carousel.

Apart from having thus created the first road-picture homework assignment, Anderson isn't breaking new ground here. But he and his actors appear to be having a larkish good time.

A Wes Anderson film is like a snow globe: it's hermetically sealed, precious, and pointless.

Apr 28, 2015Quirky, yet touching film about brothers bonding. What stands out is the beautiful and rich setting of the Indian country side. Not Wes Anderson's best movie but it is still good.Jarrin R Super Reviewer

Jul 15, 2014The Darjeeling Limited is one of Wes Andersons most mature films, but still has all the beautiful imagery, funny yet touching writing, and brilliant performances we could've hoped for. Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzmen all give great performances, playing three brothers with a love-hate relationship on a train journey together. This relationship is the heart of the film, but also is able to show off the charming dynamic between the three. It may lack the originality and wit of some of Andersons previous efforts, but it was brilliant nonetheless. The Darjeeling Limited was not a film, but an experience. As the credits rolled I found a big smile on my face, something Wes Anderson has achieved time and time again.Bradley W Super Reviewer

Jul 07, 2014Wes Anderson's uneven, good-natured The Darjeeling Limited benefits from a charismatic cast and entertains despite its flaws.Isaac H Super Reviewer
