Editorial Reviews

Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited stars Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Adrien Brody as three brothers who, at the insistence of the oldest, take a train ride through India together in order to strengthen their bond. Even though the vacation goes wrong in ways they do not anticipate, the strangeness of their setting and some revealing honesty produces some surprising changes between them all. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

August 15, 2008: Well, the first thing I thought after seeing this movie is that it literally reeked of Wes Anderson - and I don't mean that in a bad way. But seriously, you could see it a mile off. Anyway, it was very fascinating, and enjoyable, and ever so slightly thought-provoking, and, well, good. Give it a try, especially if you're in the mood for something quirky.

April 12, 2008: All of director Wes Anderson's films deal with heavy subject matter, though they are seen frequently through a prism of nonchalance, forced indifference, or in subtle mockery. While concerning itself in part with India's supposed abilities at self realization, Anderson's film borders on the latter, an at times comical perspective on the country that rides a very thin line between 'cute' and 'self absorbed.' The characters are hardly likeable, as per usual. An estranged mother and three disillusioned brothers searching for something bigger than themselves in the midst of something even bigger than that concludes the necessary family drama. A few Kinks songs and a hyperbolic concept of atmosphere, but of course. The formulaic nature of his films becomes all to obvious. And yet, everything looks so pretty it's hard to stay irritated. A few saving scenes with lazy wit, a climax worthy of a far more serious director, and a nice soundtrack. A film for early afternoon.

Why We Rated This Appropriate for Ages 15 and UP

What to watch out for

  • Consumerism:

    Many, many scenes involving monogrammed Louis Vuitton luggage designed by Marc Jacobs.

  • Drugs:

    The brothers all take a lot of prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines and drink cocktails on the train. They also get in trouble for smoking in their train compartment.

  • Language:

    Some use of "f--k," "s--t," "a--hole," etc. Also the use of the insensitive phrase "Indian giving."

  • Messages

  • Violence:

    Peter and Francis wrestle on the floor until mace is sprayed in their eyes. There's a disturbing sequence in which the brothers try to save three Indian boys who are drowning. A boy dies, and Peter is hurt (he has blood on his face and clot... More

    Peter and Francis wrestle on the floor until mace is sprayed in their eyes. There's a disturbing sequence in which the brothers try to save three Indian boys who are drowning. A boy dies, and Peter is hurt (he has blood on his face and clothes). As per Indian tradition, the boy is cremated by a funeral fire. Brief mention of suicide; several mentions of father's death. Close

  • Sex:

    Jack and a train attendant kiss and eventually have sex (off camera). The brothers discuss whether Jack has just had sex with the woman.

What Parents Need to Know

About TheDarjeeling Limited

Parents need to know that, like most Wes Anderson films, this quirky comedy deals with emotional baggage and relationships, which will probably bore younger teens (despite the presence of Wedding Crashers star Owen Wilson). The three protagonist brothers drink and share a love of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. There's a scene of peril when they try to save three young Indian boys from drowning. A dead child is shown, as is his Indian funeral fire. Suicide is briefly mentioned, and the death of a father is discussed on several occasions. There's one sex scene, although except for some passionate kissing, it's off screen. Language includes "f--k" and "s--t" but isn't incessant. Parents should also know that a short called Hotel Chevalier comes with the DVD and it contains more nudity.

Families Can Talk About

Families can talk about whether Wes Anderson's movies are funny, sad, or both. Why? How is his style of comedy different from other filmmakers'? How is this movie similar to and different from his other films? Some critics have complained that the film's second act, which takes place in a small Indian village, is offensive. What do you think about that part of the film? Is it appropriate, or is its tragedy out of place with the rest of the film?
