Ronan had two film releases in 2014 with widely diverse critical receptionsthe acclaimed comedy film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" from the director Wes Anderson and Ryan Gosling's panned directorial debut "Lost River". In the former, an ensemble film headed by Ralph Fiennes and Tony Revolori, Ronan played the supporting part of the love interest to Revolori's character. It was the first project that she filmed without her parents accompanying her on set. The film earned over $174 million on a $25 million budget and was ranked by the BBC as one of the greatest films of the century. In the surrealistic fantasy film "Lost River", Ronan played a mysterious young girl named Rat who owns a pet rat; Geoffrey Macnab of "The Independent" termed the film a "wildly self-indulgent affair" but praised Ronan's "tough but vulnerable" portrayal.
