September 2, 2009Wes Anderson just keeps getting better and better. Beautifully shot and with superb sets and locations, this is another original film about family relationships and personal discovery, its what Anderson does best. Brody, Schwartzman and Wilson are all equally brilliant. Its a mus...( read more)

July 21, 2009I didnt like it but visually it was intriguing and the way the actors played their characters was jokes.

April 7, 2009What was this about?? nothing is the answer..utter nonsense with no apparant plot. The cast is the usual Wes Anderson line up with the usual Anderson mystery plot, just like the Life Aquatic. It makes no sense atall and is thoroughly boring. The only thing that ran through my min...( read more)

January 6, 2009Interesting and original but does not captivate and draw in. More spacy and off the wall but I guess that's standard for Wes Anderson Films, so if you like his other films you will like this peculiar piece.

November 7, 2009Wes Anderson's meticulous craft has only grown increasingly brilliant and indulgent with each film. The ability it takes to transport visual trademarks of his kind out of a technical comfort zone and apply them in a far off foreign land is one of greatness; takes some serious cin...( read more)

October 30, 2009I really enjoyed this film. I think it could be my favorite movie by the highly talented Wes Anderson. Very funny, lots of depth, poignant.

October 26, 2009India as a backdrop to this movie was brilliant and fascinating. Seems like the country has just enough quirkiness/weirdness/uniqueness to complement this quirky/weird/unique movie. I loved it.

The Darjeeling Limited works best when the level of artifice is at its highest and most overt. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A better film [than Life Aquatic], warmer, more engaging, funnier and very surrounded by India, that nation of perplexing charm. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The magically compelling Darjeeling Limited strikes me as the fullest blossoming yet of Anderson's talents as a total filmmaker. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
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 ...

A wonderful mix of humor and humanity, vintage Wes Anderson that's fine and funny as he takes us on a soul searching magical mystery tour. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
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 assertivel... full review

Armond White, The New York Press
The Darjeeling Limited is so reflective of personal experience (within the context of rarefied pop antecedents) that it returns common emotional power to today's fragmented, disingenuous popular culture. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Hit and miss, but its tone of lyric melancholy is remarkably sustained. full review

Marcy Dermansky, About.com
A wonderful film -- both funny and affecting. full review

April 25, 2008This movie is so beautiful and amazing, I loved it!
And Natalie was actually in it, just in the short clip called "Hotel Chevalier" before the feature part of the movie. -
April 23, 2008Natalie Portman was in the short film - prequel to this film in which she acted as Jason Swartzman's ex-girlfriend (whom he twice or thrice tapped into her phone messages and whom he was last said to be meeting in Italy). The short film is connected to this film and is indeed significant to Jason Shwartzman's character.
