I chose to ignore the on-the-fence review by the NY Times and dragged my 95 year old grandmother with me. It was filmed beautifully, the character development was unique and believable, and there was a consistent element of the unexpected. The dialog and delivery kept us laughing throughout the entire story and the wonderful message of the importance of human intimacy and its contrast with the notion of being able to free yourself of desire was depicted in a charming way. The entire movie theatre did not get up to leave until all credits were completed as it wasclearly thought provoking.

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.

I've always been a fan of pretty much everything that wes anderson has done over the years. That said, I'm not quite as gung-ho as all the devout anderson fans, but I enjoy it enough to see all of his films. The Darjeeling Limited was no exception, and I was excited to see it, but I was truly taken back by the caliber of the film/execution as a whole. While anything by Wes Anderson is (obviously) going to be visually and cinematically awe-inspiring, this was much more in my eyes. The story was much more personal and affecting to me than his previous works. The acting was exceptional, open, and ,for lack of a better word, 'human.' Lastly, the music in this film is by far and away some of the best music supervision/placement I have ever heard/seen. Randall Poster' use of obscure tracks by The Kinks, Peter Sarstedt?s ?Where Do You Go To My Lovely ,as well as Joe Dassin' 'Chartes De Lessey' truly make for magical moments in film. I could go on, but it won't do it justice. Classic.

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.

Beautiful movie about petty people. Breathtaking attention to detail and camera work. Funny and endearing, but not for everybody. Wes Anderson's most accomlished movie.
