(1 - 45) of 45 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1   "Hurtling towards an ending that is far less pat than expected, the film... is too mobile and busy to be forced into a single compartment."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel 4/5 "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."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron "For those familiar with Anderson's work The Darjeeling Limited offers nothing new under the sun -- except that its an Indian sun."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij A- "It's bliss for the Anderson devotee; a lateral cinematic move for the filmmaker, but one of immense merit and continuous enchantment."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 4/5 "The auteur's best work to date."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin C- ""The Darjeeling Limited" is a dud where even its lame attempts at slapstick comedy fall flat."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Only on screen for a few moments, Anjelica Huston provides the most moving experience in this odd, self-indulgent film about oddness and self-indulgence."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 70/100 "Easily the slightest of Anderson's four feature films."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 2.5/4 "For all its quixotic quirkiness, The Darjeeling Limited is little more than artifice for the art house set."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 2.5/4 "...delivers no more and no less than what one might've expected..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "Quirky comedy-drama idiosyncratically directed by Wes Anderson."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "If the outcome is foreseeable and the film overstays itself a little even at 91 minutes, the pilgrimage is commendable though not enlightening."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 2/4 "The Darjeeling Limited is a pleasant trifle, and that's it. Individual moments shine but they do not make a satisfying whole."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/5 "Lo que podría haber sido una original road movie en tren termina diluyéndose en una experiencia caprichosa, carente de humor y sensibilidad, y finalmente algo irritante."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B- "If you've seen Anderson's other films, this will feel like a repeat. A good repeat, sure, but still a repeat."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "May not deliver on the emotional context of Tenenbaums but is more than funny enough to forgive it's heavy-handed dramatic metaphors."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress D+ "It looks wonderful...but feels thin and weightless, as pretty a bauble as a Christmas tree ornament and ultimately just about as durable."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A spunky spiritual adventure story about three American brothers traveling through India and trying to connect with each other and come to terms with the past and death."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat A- "The Darjeeling Limited is, thankfully, a movie about learning to stop feeling sorry for yourself, not about the satisfaction of wallowing in one's own misery (proving that Anderson is a hipster only deceptively.)"   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 2.5/4 "An easy movie to admire but more difficult to like. Technically and thematically, there's a lot in The Darjeeling Limited to arrest the attention. Emotionally, there's a void."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "Unless he branches out into new territory aesthetically and thematically, Anderson's best days may be behind him, not in front of him"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 7/10 "In the Anderson oeuvre, it feels minor: although it hits its goals, it doesn't necessarily aim big this time."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Everyone who pretended to love Aquatic because they were afraid of hopping off the Anderson bandwagon because deep down they hoped it was just a little career hiccup? Don't lock your knees when you jump because you'll wreck 'em."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick "A highly flawed personal vision, containing what the Screenwriter 101's among us would deem various and sundry "third act problems.""   House Next Door   Keith Uhlich 4/4 "Wes Anderson's best film so far."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 2/4 "Amid 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."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "Finds Anderson back in fine form."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Can a movie be both cartoonish and authentic at the same time? That's what Anderson achieves, always, and it's bittersweet and hilarious and makes you want to cry with the perfection of it..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "Anderson's now-overly familiar tone and style feels all the more twee when paired with a thin story."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina B "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."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "The ingredients that have increasingly defined Wes Anderson's films seem, with The Darjeeling Limited, to have become something like limitations."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "O curta Hotel Chevalier, que precede o filme, é infinitamente mais eficaz que o longa: se for para mergulhar num universo esteticamente fascinante que não tenha muita coisa a dizer, é preferível fazê-lo em doses menores."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 5/5 "Anderson's best and most satisfying work since Rushmore"   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "Entertaining and engaging, and also deliberately strange."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/5 "The movie finds Anderson straining to peel away his mannerisms and respond to a world outside the ones he usually so meticulously designs."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C+ "It eventually goes somewhere, but I'm not sure where. It is a pleasant enough trip for the most part."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "The director and co-writer [Wes Anderson] has some deep thoughts going on in his head that are translated to the screen."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "... a nice sense of fraternal affection under the frustration, playful details in the margins, a bouncy energy, and Anderson's idiosyncratic tastes in fashion and music."   MSN.com   Sean Axmaker 4/4 "If Anderson's films really are an acquired taste, then Darjeeling is cooked to perfection."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "Anderson is still a maddeningly cool filmmaker. He's remote from his characters, which makes him remote from his movies. There's also a way in which he uses race as a novelty, suggesting an assertively white-kid view of the world."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 8/10 "Meticulously stylized and nimbly filmed on a retrofitted Indian train, it's a spicy, lyrical cinematic feast."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 8/10 "Unexpectedly fresh, if indisputably minor."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 3/4 "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."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 4/4 "If you hear the music, you'll recognize that beneath Anderson's hipster veneer is the low keen of loss and wounds that never close."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 45) of 45 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
