Roger Ebert loves The Darjeeling Limited. In his review — on the presses tomorrow — he gives the film 3 1/2 (out of four) stars (Yankee Racers post about it). In other words, he says it is the best Wes Anderson film to date.
Let’s make The Darjeeling Limited a box office hit. It already is in New York. If you live within a car, subway, bus, boat, hang glider, or jet plane ride away from any of these cinemas, you need to go. Friday and Saturday? It is really a fantastic movie. And, its success this week may help us encourage wider distribution.
Show some love.

“The movie meanders. It will therefore inspire reviews complaining that it doesn’t fly straight as an arrow at its target. But it doesn’t have a target, either. Why do we have to be the cops and enforce a narrow range of movie requirements? Anderson is like Dave Brubeck, who I’m listening to right now. He knows every note of the original song, but the fun and genius come in the way he noodles around. And in his movie’s cast, especially with Owen Wilson, Anderson takes advantage of champion noodlers.” – Roger Ebert
But I can’t! my wes friends. I totally wish I could, but I can’t. Why did I ever go to a far away university! If I walked all the way to embarcadero, it would take like three days! But, I will try to talk to the only friend I know who has a car to take me. She knows nothing of the film, and I’ll try to entice her to take the Wes Anderson plunge. REALLY WANNA SEE IT!
Hi! Thanks for the link! It’s an honor to see my blog entry next to official-type reviews! Thanks
Just bought my tickets for a showing in Chicago tonight!
I am so very sad I do not live in a hip enough city anymore, I really need to see this in the theater and is seems the only way to do that is if I fly home to my moms place in Chicago…and I just think that is going a little too far. I hope it gets to Florida some time soon.
No Pittsburgh? Suck.
