Catch this one on DVD for sure if you're a Wes Anderson fan. Very nice movie, although probably my least favorite of his work. I'll see it one more time, just to be sure.

Don't listen to the conventional wisdom that Wes Anderson is just repeating himself. Like all great artists the themes remain similar; alienation, family, individuality, longing, regret, existential angst, and the humor required to navigate it all. But his films are still getting deeper, truer and more poignant. One of the funniest lines in the movie comes repeatedly as people recognize themselves in one of the brother's short stories "The characters are fictional" Movies are fictional, but when they touch us so deeply, we know they are not really...

Very quirky, odd and unique. We loved it. The LA times review really said it best with "Wilson, Brody and Schwartzman are like a contemporary, depressive version of the Three Stooges, and there's something inspired about Anderson's decision to cast them as brothers. " They are all trying to deal with the death of their father and abandonment by their mother - you may not like them, but they're strangely real and you can't deny the 'flow' of the story is spot on. Superb acting and direction. Wish we hadn't waited so long to see it!

Three of use went to see it and we all LOVED it. My friend who used to live in India kept cracking up and saying, "That's what it's like! That's exactly what it's like!" Afterwards he explained, "In India, the most RANDOM things happen--your shoe gets stolen, your train gets lost, you end up at a stranger's funeral--it's exactly like that!" I'm mentioning this in case anyone points out that the movie feels random and quasi-plotless at times: yeah, it does, because it's about three Wes Anderson characters IN INDIA. What else could it be but randomly mixed hilarity and pathos, color and darkness, absurdity and lucidity, life and death? Fantastic!

Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited was fantastic. I fell in love with the the Indian landscape and by the end of the movie I wished that I wasn't an only child. Anderson's new film illustrated the fragility and beauty of relationships and how we are all shaped by our families. The next morning after seeing the movie I had to pull out my Kinks albums to recapture the chills I felt while watching the music of the film somehow match the movies setting with germaine precision. Funny and heartbreaking.
