Recommendation

Recommendation

I found this movie very charming and would certainly recommend it. I am a sucker for Wes Anderson films and this was no exception. The French Dispatch is very funny without many outright jokes and is visually pleasing in the standard Wes Anderson style. It is made up of several view points and individual stories with a binding narrative that pulls things together just well enough that the movie as a whole feels coherent.

I would recommend this to anyone who is already a Wes Anderson fan, but I wouldn’t necessarily suggest this if you are new to Wes Anderson. It is very stylized and if you don’t like the style you won’t like the film. It also has a lot of absurdist humor which is not for everyone. If you are new to Wes Anderson films, I might suggest watching a different one first (perhaps The Grand Budapest Hotel) before diving into this one.
