    The Darjeeling Limited

    ★★★½

    This is a tough one. Wes Anderson is obvs incredible at cinematography and the colour scheme it beautiful to look at. The actors are all great. The storyline is pretty funny and interesting. But it’s missing something. Maybe I’m just used to action films but it somewhat felt like nothing really happened. Despite a lot actually happening 
    Weird 
    Would recommend but wouldn’t watch again

    Watched at Everyman cinema with Helena. 

    Was exciting and a bit scary and didn’t expect the twist but felt very like the Menu (maybe cos the menu ate so hard there were only crumbs left…).
    Overall enjoyed it but thought it relied a bit too much on gore shock value and parts seemed a bit too convenient. (Didn’t love the ending) 
    I imagine could be better on a rewatch knowing what to look out for.

    Beautiful and terrifying and insane 
    I’ve never really seen an editing style like it and while I didn’t love every scene, for the scenes that mattered I couldn’t look away. 
    So deep and sad showing the quick downwards spiral of drug addiction 
    Started off so lovely but by the end sent physical chills down my body.

    Loved the soundtrack and acting was incredible
    Final shot where all 4 characters lie in bed and roll over to the left all for…
