LOW-KEY BEST WES ANDERSON?? The Grand Budapest Hotel Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   With The Phoenician Scheme in Theatres NOW, Andrew & Roxy reunite for The Grand Budapest Hotel Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Visit https://www.liquidiv.com & use Promo Code: REJECTS to get 20% off your first order. Join Andrew Gordon & Roxy Striar as they step into the pastel-hued halls of Wes Anderson’s 2014 masterwork The Grand Budapest Hotel. When legendary concierge M. Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes, The English Patient, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) is framed for the murder of dowager Madame D. (Tilda Swinton, Michael Clayton, Snowpiercer), young lobby boy Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori, Dope, The French Dispatch) embarks on a whirlwind quest across the snowy Republic of Zubrowka to clear his mentor’s name. Along the way, they’re aided by pastry-chef Agatha (Saoirse Ronan, Lady Bird, Little Women), who crafts the iconic Courtesan au Chocolat, and pursued by the vengeful heir Dmitri (Adrien Brody, The Pianist, Midnight in Paris). The stellar ensemble also features F. Murray Abraham (Yuri, Amadeus, Scarface) as the ruthless jailer who leads the prison break; Willem Dafoe (Jopling, Spider-Man, The Lighthouse) as the cold-blooded henchman; Jeff Goldblum (Deputy Kovacs, Jurassic Park, Thor: Ragnarok) as the skeptical prosecutor; Jude Law (The Author, Sherlock Holmes, Fantastic Beasts) as the narrating novelist; and cameos from Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Harvey Keitel, Lea Seydoux, and Owen Wilson. Aaron & Roxy break down every meticulously framed moment—from the snowy Alpine ski chase and the thrilling jail break to the decadent Mendl’s pastry montage and the bittersweet final framing device. Don’t miss their take on why The Grand Budapest Hotel remains one of the most highly searched and endlessly rewatchable films of the 2010s!
