April 12, 2012Wes Anderson's 'Darjeeling Limited' is the brilliant director's most mature film, but that is not synonymous with his best. I did not find the film as funny as the gems 'Rushmore' or 'Royal Tenenbaums', not even 'The Life Aquatic'. But it had its strong points of hilarity, emotio... read more

January 18, 2012fb100001592288964Most likely Wes Anderson's most underrated film. A terrific acting trio along with the classic Anderson brand of humor and the most stunning visuals and set pieces than his other films, this is a train ride you definitely won't be disappointed that you took!

October 27, 2011fb1664868775I think this may be the most beautifully photographed of all of Anderson's classics. The backdrop of India is amazing and the score featuring the songs of The Kinks is brilliant.

September 1, 2011I have to confess here and admit that I love Wes Anderson's work and The Darjeeling Limited is no exception. I see it as sort of a generation movie in regard to the actors: Owen Wilson from Bottle Rocket, Jason Schwartzman from Rushmore, Angelica Huston from The Royal Tenenbaums,... read more

May 29, 2011I'm not one of three brothers, but if I were, I'd want this type of love-hate, instinctive, irrational relationship.

April 19, 2011Three estranged brothers go on a voyage of self discovery in India to reconcile after the death of their father. I've never really "got" Wes Anderson; maybe it's a cultural thing, but his films have always left me a little cold. The Darjeeling limited is another example, although... read more

December 1, 2010Is "The Darjeeling Limited" self indulgent? Yes. Is "The Darjeeling Limited" overly obvious? Yes. Is "The Darjeeling Limited" technically well constructed? Yes. By now this seems very routine for Wes Anderson, but it is his most mature film, which makes it seems overly simplistic... read more

November 5, 2010Wes Anderson's most restrained film stylistically is a marvelous, multilayered character dramedy filled with memorable scenes and characters. It may not be on the same level as a "Rushmore" or "The Royal Tenenbaums" but it's pretty close. I've seen the film three times, and with ... read more

July 7, 2010A totally pointless film, whether you?re a fan of Owen Wilson or not you would at least expect this film to be filled with humour and that simply wasn?t the case. The storyline was not strong enough and it didn?t even have enough structure to call it corny.
Not a recommendation.

Even those invested in the idea that the journey is the destination may feel they've taken a train to nowhere. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
The whimsy of it all does a passable job of covering the dull stretches, and the actors, to a one (Bill Murray has a cameo, Anjelica Huston shows up) make it watchable. Full Review

None of this is as amusing as the writers ostensibly imagine it to be. Full Review

The Darjeeling Limited is a step toward maturity for Anderson, too. His visual ideas are still overcalculated and the tone is often precious, but emotionally he seems to have expanded. Full Review

Dripping with Wes Anderson's patented blend of whimsy and melancholy, The Darjeeling Limited is the story of three brothers traveling across India in search of themselves. Full Review
