Family tension again provides dramatic comedy in Wes Anderson's new film, The Darjeeling Limited, about three American brothers traveling by train to find their reclusive mother in rural India. Like Royal Tenenbaums, this film succeeds because of its smart, funny script in addition to the visual beauty of India and its luxurious locomotive transportation. In Darjeeling, the oldest brother, Francis (Owen Wilson), blackmails his two younger siblings, Peter (Adrien Brody), and Jack (Jason Schwartzman), into traveling to a monastery where their mother, Patricia (Anjelica Huston), has been in hiding as a nun. Supposedly embarking on a spiritual quest, the three men reminisce about the recent death of their father, and the family's irreconcilable problems previous to their reunification. Though they do find Patricia, Francis, Peter, and Jack grow immensely from another brush with death, this time an Indian boy they try to rescue, giving the film an added conceptual depth that Anderson's previous films have been accused of lacking. Co-written by Roman Coppola (CQ), The Darjeeling Limited is a finely-tuned critique of American materialism, emotional vacuity, and our lack of spiritualism, presented in ironic twists and gorgeous cinematography and lighting recalling Altman's McCabe & Mrs. Miller. A lovely, poignant sequence occurs while the three brothers attend a traditional Indian funeral, and flash back to their father's one year prior. Moreover, the film's soundtrack culled from Satyajit Ray's films and vintage Kinks gives the film a timeless feel, removing it from the predictable indie rock scoring of independent releases. By far Anderson's best film thus far, The Darjeeling Limited offers a much-needed dose of cultural self-reflection, pillared against India's ever-evolving yet ancient religious backbone. --Trinie Dalton

Rating:  - How do movies like this get green lit?
"The Darjeeling Limited" written and directed by Wes Anderson.
Three brothers, Francis (Owen Wilson), Peter (Adrien Brody) and Jack (Jason Schwartzman) have been convinced to come together on what is supposed to be a spiritual journey across India. All 3 brothers are still dealing with the loss of their father and the fact that their mother didn't come to the funeral and has disappeared without informing anyone as to where she has gone. Each is bringing his own set of baggage be it emotional, ... Read More
Rating: - I would give this 0 stars
This is one of the worst movies ever. I have nothing against Wes Anderson, but come on people. This is the movie equivalent to diarrhea. Aside from the beautiful landscape, this is beyond bad. Do yourself a favor and watch ANYTHING else.
Rating: - Horrible Movie
1 Star earned for the cinematography which is good but is unfortunately accompanied by a pointless, plotless morass of auteur garbage called the movie & screenplay. Pointless by design, it seems to be an exercise in amusement for Mr. Anderson at his absolute theft of a movie studio's budget and waste of perfectly good actors and the viewer's time. Having found some of his past movies (Rushmore & Royal...) to be funny, I thought I would enjoy this movie as well. While the same snappy dialogue is ... Read More
Rating:  - What happened Mr. Anderson?
To start this review off i'm a huge fan of the movies wes anderson had cowrote/directed but something is seriously wrong with this movie. No it's not the acting, the actors did a great job fulfiling there duties in this film. The problem seems to be with the screenplay. At times this movies drags on and on. IDK i guess everyone makes a bad movie (exp. Kevin Smith with Mallrats). But there's no way this is a good movie. It starts out pretty lame and by the end of the movie you almost wish you would have had ... Read More
Rating:  - Cleverly Made With Delightfully Peculiar Characters
Not as eccentric as The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou or as dark as The Royal Tenenbaums, The Darjeeling Limited falls somewhere in-between and is an entity unto itself. However, make no mistake; this is a Wes Anderson movie through-and-through. In other words, it's well-made and very fun to watch.
Owen Wilson plays Francis, the oldest of three siblings who calls his two brothers, Peter and Jack played (respectively played by Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman) to India. They meet on the train ... Read More
