when everything falls into place, as it does for much of The Darjeeling Limited, [Anderson’s] movies give way to something far deeper than film geekery.

The central performances are just delightful, and the film’s emotional current will make you want to hug your sibling as soon as the credits run.

Far from Anderson's best work, The Darjeeling Limited offers enough dysfunctional family antics and care-free adventure to keep things interesting. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 9, 2023

Considering the amounts of dry kooky humor, it may surprise some people to find this much heart. But Anderson has always had a knack for that.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2022

The arrested development dynamic of the three leads is what keeps the film just about on track ("I love you too, but I'm going to mace you in the face") and it works best as an art nerd's hang-out movie.

It couldn't be more fascinating. [Full review in Spanish]

[Wes Anderson's] most accessible, brilliant and emotional film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 15, 2020

Visually pleasing and interesting from the perspective of seeing a mini-travelogue of India, The Darjeeling Limited is a ride worth taking. However, if you are looking for substance over style, this is one trip you shouldn't take.

The Darjeeling Limited isn't Wes Anderson's best, but it shows he is trying his best.

Wilson shines as the oldest brother of three in perhaps his best performance to date.

| Original Score: B | Mar 12, 2014

It's very much what I think Anderson intended - a light travelogue of small consequence, with a slight, though sincere and concerned effort to bring a heart back into his films.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2014

The screenplay does have ambitions to say something about brotherhood and spirituality, but Anderson's sense of style is so strong that sincerity and emotion struggle to be heard.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 12, 2014

What of the characters? Well, there aren't any, really.

| Mar 12, 2014

Wes Anderson transports his arch, pristine, melancholic sensibility to India, where three estranged brothers meet after their father's death and hop a train in a quixotic attempt to heal their spiritual wounds.

| Mar 12, 2014

Anderson's gentle parody of westerners who lob into an ancient culture expecting to pick up enlightenment and peace as easily as a shoe shine or over-the-counter painkillers is very funny.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 12, 2014

By now, you know exactly what to expect, which is both good and bad. To my mind, Anderson reached the acme of this formula in the first go, in Tenenbaums, and has now replicated it twice, evoking smaller pleasures each time.

| Original Score: B | Mar 12, 2014

This is a handsome, intriguing and subtly funny character study that almost leads to enlightenment.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 12, 2014

Here Anderson, like his heroes, learns the real adventure is in getting deliriously lost.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 12, 2014

Wilson, Brody and Schwartzman are each fine, but if you found yourself stuck in a train compartment with their characters, you'd vamoose.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 12, 2014

Though it never arrives at the desired destination, The Darjeeling Limited offers a rewarding journey -- but one that's hard to recommend without a few disclaimers.
