The Hotel Splendide is on a remote and cold island, accessible only by a once-a-month ferry. It's a dark and dreary spa created by the late Dame Blanche, whose grown children now run the hotel according to her specificiations, serving up ghastly seaweed and fish-based food and enema treatments. Kath, once the sous chef, arrives when she receives an anonymous letter telling her of the matriarch's death. Will she bring light into the place with her wonderful cooking?

I do like quirky and unusual films, that is why I am such a fan of Wes Andersen films. This is not it. The story centres of 2 modes of cuisine. We get it. Beyond that the story line is pointless. It is as flat as its ocean skyline. The best thing I can say is that the cinematography is lovely. It makes for a nice slide show. I am also ready to add that some of the characters are peculiar, but they have no story arc. According to IMDB "A chef (Toni Collette) seeks reconciliation with her brother (Daniel Craig) by helping him run a decaying resort and health spa." The main characters are supposed to be brother and sister. However, the tension between them would be more in line with jilted lovers, making this film creepy to watch. Nothing funny there.

Having seen this film several years ago, I am now somewhat hazy on the details. However, it left an indelible impression and I really want to see it again. The friend with whom I watched it hated it, but I was more positive, being a big fan of Toni Colette and Daniel Craig. The creaky old hotel was perfectly and appropriately disgusting, and cast expertly limned the miserable staff with gusto. The somewhat grotesque scenes in the bowels of the hotel (sorry!) were, as some reviewers have noted, not altogether pleasant, with the hotel's sewage bubbling through ancient pipes, but they were hysterically funny. And as a part of a satire of various misguided schemes to advance loony notions of healthful lifestyles, it works quite well. As Kath, Toni Colette brings a spark of sanity to the hotel and its downtrodden employees, and her attempts to introduce edible food lead to predictable conflicts. This is a role Ms. Colette took on only about six years after her career-making turn as Muriel in "Muriel's Wedding." It marks an interesting phase and perhaps a transitional moment in what is a brilliant career. However, it appears that the film is available on DVD only in a non-U.S. format. Does anyone know why? Are there other options?

Love British humor! I found this thru my Roku on Tubi. Great, young Daniel Craig & Toni Collete, + Toby Jones plus other memorable actors. If you just like cookie cutter movies, watch Hallmark!

My god where to start with this waste of some fine acting talent, a total mis match of storyline and acting, where scenes just appeared and went with no seeming joining where we were treated for some reason to Stephen Tomkinson having sex with his wife in the middle of a working day, then whatever Daniel Craig thought he was up to I have no idea. Just a bizarre thing to see, myself and my wife gave it 20 minutes and our eyeballs were hurting so we gave up. Avoid at all costs, whoever made this and who agreed to it being made, should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. As I said earlier this is a waste of some fine actors and a waste of resources.

The hotels plays recordings of the deceased owner to guests at a spa, ofo the health benefits of a bland diet and the cure through regular colonic irrigation. The evils of fried food and spices, only boiled or blanched food on menu, the staf play a board game called squitters (pun) watch the scene it's a howler if you get the gist of the film, one line from daniel craig is mothers been taking advantage of the guests from both ends! The heating system is converted from guests sewage, it's almost like a monty python film or jabberwocky.

What an odd movie to pop up on my list of recommendation on Prime. The cast is excellent (I'll watch anything with Daniel Craig), but the ensemble is amazing. The precis presented by Prime is incorrect -- the young woman returning to the monstrosity that is the Hotel Splendide is the former lover, not the sister, of the chef, and this change turned what I thought might be a quirky comedy into a rather dark but still lively exploration of what happens when the dead refuse to die. The atmosphere of this film is somewhere between Grand Budapest Hotel and Amalie -- I definitely feel the shades of Jeunot and Caro flitting about -- but the revolution which occurs is quintessentially British -- low key, strange, and ultimately enlightening.

Tale of a resort and health spa, on a remote island off the coast. Lots of time spent talking about the health treatments, the menu, and the heating system... the miserly old patriarch owner, Mrs. Blanche has passed on, and now the family can spruce it all up. If they can only agree on what's to be done. When Kath (Collette), a former employee returns, the cook (daniel craig) refuses to work with her. Stanley (Hugh O'Conor, the irish one!) is the nightly entertainment, and is watching the wacky goings on. He wants to leave, but is scared of crossing the water. So he stays. This zany film was one of Craig's quirky ones, before he started playing James Bond. Collette has done so many of these fun, indie films, she seems to really excel in this category. It's a ton of fun. Even when bad stuff happens, it's light and fluffy and fun. I'll definitely watch this one again. Directed by Terence Gross. Story by Marie Redonnet, french author.

I don't quite share the enthusiasm of the reviewers claiming that the movie is a must-see, but it is not trash either. It's actually a black-humored comedy and rather good for a change. I disagree about wasting 98 minutes of your life, because if you don't find the movie attractive in the first 10 minutes, then stop watching it - it's not your kind of a show. I wouldn't compare it to the Addams Family, one of my all-time favorites, but something in the setting, darkness, characters, and pace makes the two somehow alike. Though, indeed, I, too, would prefer less toilet and bowel movement humor, but it relates to the major part of the plot, the health efficiency theory of the masterful mother-former owner of the hotel who used to run (and seem to still run) it, so not much complaining there. My opinion - give it a try, chances are that you'll be entertained. But if it doesn't work for you - well, the "Off" button is still on your remote.
