Overview
The Grand Budapest Hotel tells of a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars and his friendship with a young employee who becomes his trusted protégé. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, the battle for an enormous family fortune and the slow and then sudden upheavals that transformed Europe during the first half of the 20th century.
This film was odd in that (for me) it became less enjoyable as it went along. The premise was great and it started out with great promise. After about 40 minutes it started to fizzle. After 80 minutes I was looking at the clock. I gave it a little bit of a bump on the rating because of the quality of the acting.
