You know that feeling you get that you’re somewhere that you shouldn’t be? That’s how it felt during as the people were filing in for the viewing of the latest film, Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Maybe it’s to do with the fact that the film features older British actors/actresses that explains the older audience.
In the basic sense, it follows a group of elderly Brits from different situations all heading off to India to start a new life in the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, only to find that it’s not what was sold in the brochure (and I’m sure some people have had holidays like that!), how the deal with it and how the country begins to change them in mindset and outlook.
As previously said, it features a cast primarily made up of older British actors/actresses (Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighly, Penelope Wilton, Tom Wilkinson, Ronald Pickup) you can see why the film probably attracts a more ‘mature’ audience. However, it’s balanced out with youngsters Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) and Tena Desae. It has it’s heart warming moments, as well as it’s sad. It shows that no matter the age, we’ve probably all been through similar situations. Great film that hopefully the more mature will enjoy, but anyone of any age who appreciates well matured talent will also enjoy.
Rating: 5/5
