  • THE FRENCH DISPATCH

    From Bill Anderson@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 6 23:48:56 2022
    It was just so very precious, so very mannered, so very Wes Anderson. I
    did not enjoy it and I am really glad it is over and given the number of
    times I considered bailing I still can’t understand why I kept watching.
    It was intended, I think, to be the cinema equivalent of an edition of
    the New Yorker magazine. There were long thought pieces, fine art,
    theater, humorous vignettes, and even cartoons. It was an interesting
    effort but not engaging and hardly entertaining.
