The Darjeeling Limited

[2.5/5 stars] This film is slow to develop. It meanders and frankly, I was bored. I get that the three brothers are on a spiritual journey, coming to terms with their father’s death and their mother’s lack of presence, but I didn’t feel included as a viewer. I felt like an outsider, like someone not privy to an in-joke. Self-important, self-indulgent, and in the end, I just didn’t care.
