Well without jstor access I don't think I can read that specific paper =p

... but a quick Google search for Grand Budapest Hotel and magic realism comes up with enough reviews to show there's significant numbers who feel it is
I searched for "magical realism" "Grand Budapest Hotel"
The first hit is The Miniatures Page forum comment that says "Grand Budapest Hotel created a whole world for the characters to inhabit, and within its constraints the Magic Realism used to drive the story feels natural rather than forced."
The second is a brief review in the The Escapist "I think it sets out to do: distance the viewer from the story in such a way as to create a verisimilitude of literary magic realism". Good lord, what is that author trying to say?
The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth hits were referring to the two search phrases independently, but just so happened to be on the same page.
The seventh hit actually had a relevant reference: , Anderson infuses a very real period of turmoil and societal evolution with his trademark brand of magic realism. But of course that's not an argument that it is magical realism, just an assertion.
At that point, I felt I'd done enough for five minutes :)
