	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"An idiosyncratic period comedy that will delight connoisseurs more than the wide public. (...) both arch and sophisticated farce (...) elegant comedy"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"It’s wonderful. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Wes Anderson's captivating 1930s-set caper offers a vibrant and imaginative evocation of a bygone era (...) whose innumerable surface pleasures might just seduce you into overlooking its sly intelligence and depth of feeling."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Over the years, Wes Anderson's movies have steadily developed a lush, eccentric world that operates on its own terms, and 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' excels at exploring it."	POS
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"Full of Anderson’s visual signatures – cameras that swerve, quick zooms, speedy montages – it’s familiar in style, refreshing in tone and one of Anderson’s very best films. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Mark Adams Screendaily	"Wes Anderson's beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' sees the director deliver his best film."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It's a filigreed toy box of a movie, so delicious-looking you may want to lick the screen. It is also, in the Anderson manner, shot through with humor, heartbreak and a bruised romantic's view of the past."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"This movie makes a marvelous mockery of history, turning its horrors into a series of graceful jokes and mischievous gestures. You can call this escapism if you like. You can also think of it as revenge."	POS
