Judging from the reviews here I would suspect that if Andersen made a movie about a guy, sitting naked in a room, alone, who slowly cut off each of his toes...one by one...then proceeded to cut off each ear...and cut off his hair...then plucked out both eyes...then sawed off his ahem...sack.....then sawed off his,....ahem....you know....then proceeded to cut off each finger one by one...that movie would receive rave ratings similar to this one. In fact, there is very little difference between this movie and the one I describe.... Grand Budapest Hotel is a torturous movie. Watching it is similar to the procedure related above...pure torture..
