Reviews for The Darjeeling Limited
It’s a movie about luggage.
10/31/07
About as close to perfection as you're likely to get.
10/31/07
The jewel in Wes Anderson's crown!
10/29/07
If Anderson's films really are an acquired taste, then Darjeeling is cooked to perfection.
10/28/07
The movie finds Anderson straining to peel away his mannerisms and respond to a world outside the ones he usually so meticulously designs.

After approaching self-absorption in The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Anderson completely disappears up his own preciousness in this road trip.
10/26/07
Anderson's signature style is feeling the pressure of the law of diminishing returns -- a law as menacing to the artist as that of gravity is to the balloonist.
10/26/07
...the sort of pretentious empty exercise that gives arthouse films a bad name.
10/26/07
Wes Anderson's movies are hothouse flowers, delicate but vivid blooming, fragrant but short-lived.
10/26/07
Like a once in a lifetime trip that only grows grander with the passage of time, The Darjeeling Limited is idiosyncratic filmmaking at its finest.
10/26/07
Whether you will enjoy this movie depends on your tolerance for Anderson's unique sensibilities.
10/25/07
Next stop, minor disappointment, followed by growing appreciation.
10/25/07
Anderson's most wispish work to date ... But it offers enough modest charms to earn it a mild recommendation.
10/24/07
Imagine the Three Stooges if they had gone to Yale.
10/20/07
Anderson continues to examine damaged lives with whimsy, humor and bittersweet compassion. No matter how serious the themes get, Anderson and company keep the tone deceptively light.
10/20/07
It's a hard film to shake, and there's an awful lot to be said for that.
10/20/07
Anderson's now-overly familiar tone and style feels all the more twee when paired with a thin story.
