Reviews for The Darjeeling Limited
Brody...has a comedian's gangly limbs and a tragedian's melancholy face. For the tragicomedies of Wes Anderson, that's a perfect combination.
10/04/07
Arguably the most self-indulgent and silly of his five-film oeuvre...The emperor's new clothes have only gotten more expensive and Asian-inspired.
10/03/07
The magically compelling Darjeeling Limited strikes me as the fullest blossoming yet of Anderson's talents as a total filmmaker.
10/03/07
The Darjeeling Limited is a pleasant trifle, and that's it. Individual moments shine but they do not make a satisfying whole.
10/02/07
If Wes Andersen ever decides to treat his characters with the same loving attention he treats his props, he will make better movies. Oh the tschotchkes in this movie! It's like a long, loving J. Peterman catalogue commercial.

Finds Anderson back in fine form.
10/01/07
Midway through the film takes a shift to a darker and more thoughtful tone - revealing hidden depths to Anderson's film-making that are a welcome surprise.
10/01/07
It is repetitive, but it's still very clever writing, maybe sometimes too clever, really good acting.
10/01/07
With more style than substance, the story is so thin it evaporates like a puff from a hookah.

It looks wonderful...but feels thin and weightless, as pretty a bauble as a Christmas tree ornament and ultimately just about as durable.
10/01/07
A moderately amusing shaggy dog story that evokes director Wes Anderson's love for human beings with quirky personality traits.
09/30/07
May not deliver on the emotional context of Tenenbaums but is more than funny enough to forgive it's heavy-handed dramatic metaphors.
09/29/07
In the Anderson oeuvre, it feels minor: although it hits its goals, it doesn't necessarily aim big this time.
09/28/07
Here's another Wes Anderson movie. I say that with all due respect.
09/28/07
Unstintingly fussy, vain and self-regarding. But it is also a treasure: an odd, flawed, but nonetheless beautifully handmade object as apt to win affection as to provoke annoyance. You might say that it has sentimental value.
09/28/07
Top CriticAmid all this self-conscious cleverness, the one sequence built around primal emotions feels hideously out of place, its gravity diminished by the self-consciously kooky antics that surround it.
09/28/07
Maybe Anderson needs to shoot someone else's screenplay, to get outside his own head for a while and into another's sensibility. It's telling that his funniest and liveliest recent work was a commercial for American Express.
09/28/07
Although The Darjeeling Limited pales in comparison to Anderson's best film, Rushmore, it's still a vast improvement over the director's last and worst film, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
09/28/07
The usual pleasures of Anderson's work are all present in The Darjeeling Limited, which creates a gorgeous palette out of local color.
