Critics Sentiment
Gustave befriends inmates, escapes through pastry tunnel
Gustave arrested for murder after Serge's testimony
The film jumps from its lowest point during Gustave's arrest to its highest during the inventive prison escape sequence.
Critics consistently praised Anderson's visual mastery and Ralph Fiennes' comedic performance throughout. The film maintains high scores with particular peaks during action sequences like the prison escape and hotel siege. Even the melancholic ending received positive reception for its poignant blend of whimsy and sadness.
