Although visually appealing, The French Dispatch is an unnecessarily chaotic and complex piece of pretentious garbage.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, o elenco é muito bom mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, as cenas são fracas e não tem uma cena relevante para o filme ser bom, e mais uma vez no seus filmes wes anderson foca no visual em vez do roteiro junto com a história, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.

Experimental, intriguing, but hard to follow

For anyone whose favourite magazine is The New Yorker.

Beautiful and perfectly crafted cinematography and set design that makes each frame a painting. The cast is stocked with Wes Anderson alumni, including Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, and Adrien Brody. There are also some fresh surprises in the cast like Benicio Del Toro, Timothee Chalamet, and Jeffrey Wright. The movie is an anthology series with an ensemble cast all framed by the titular French dispatch newspaper company. The first story was pretty good, the second story was kind of annoying and boring, and the last story was fantastic. It’s a visual feast for the eyes and an excellent palette cleanser from all the blockbuster and streaming fluff that has been overshadowing true cinema.

I loved the royal tenenbaums. And quite enjoyed the darjeeling express and budapest hotel. But I couldn't love this. Takes far too much effort for the viewer to extract a tiny bit of gentle hit and miss satire. Its not worth the effort. It's overwhelming. But not in a good way. Dialogue too fast, everything else too slow. I just wasnt made to care. That's 2 hours of my life I won't get back. 2 hours of hoping this would somehow turn out to be worthwhile of my time. Maybe that was wes anderson's intention... to take the p (or take the mick) out of us viewers, and hollywood, as he takes the gentle p out of the art world in one of the shorts. He's laughing all the way to the bank. I waited for the viewer to be let in on the joke, but I think he's serious, he's been taken in by all the smoke-blowing over the years. And that makes me sad. Thank goodness I hadn't paid money to feel bored, frustrated, angered, and depressed. Boring, in summary. Beautiful but boring. The individual components may be vaguely interesting as stand alone shorts, but unbearable as a feature length movie. Pretentious and will be loved by the pretentious. Even the music grated on me. I wish I'd stopped watching and not battled through to the end.

This was a amazing show of artistic story telling can be hard to follow exactly where or what is going if you have a loss of concentration (so pay attention there are wonderful humours parts) but it is great Wes Anderson production.

Esto es cine de autor bien hecho. Jamás me acostumbraré a esto. El Anderson hizo su película como él quería. Es una buena jugada. Poca pasta y mucha influencia con el estudio a la hora de hacer la peli. Seré directo, no me ha gustado. Está más o menos bien, es decir… El que esté acostumbrado a esto pues la va a disfrutar, esta es la primera vez que veo una peli de este tipo. Simplemente no me acostumbré. La primera historia fácilmente puede ser la mejor, y el final animado hace más ligero el clímax y por lo menos sales hapi.

wes anderson is probably my biggest blind spot in film, which is surprising since his style and production design are something i know i will enjoy. besides this, the only other film of his i’ve seen is isle of dogs, but hopefully this year i can change that. the stories here decrease in quality as they progress, but the craft is consistent throughout. being in the architecture field myself, those section cut views of buildings & airplanes really impressed me.

Loved the Grand Budapest Hotel, but this movie? Nicely filmed but the story is rather meager. Left before the end of the movie although I had nothing to do. Disappointing.

Feel good movie. The humour might not be for everyone. Little skits with incredible methodical cinematography and perfect acting. Like an impressionist painting, Anderson showed us characters and leaves us to feel and interpret its imagery.

I understand my opinion here is unique, but I absolutely loved The French Dispatch. It’s not groundbreaking in any sense, but it’s exactly what it’s intended to be: entertaining.

Hands down Anderson's worst attempt. This is kind of like when Spielberg made that War of the Worlds remake as his one flop. The French Dispatch is a collection of unrelated vignettes; no plot involved. Each one is arguably terrible- decent, at best. Even in the face of COVID I wanted to like it but let's be honest: it wasn't designed to be liked.

Aren’t films supposed to have an intrigue ? Maybe Wes Anderson should stick to pretty photography.

This film was very good. Entertaining. Fun. I enjoyed it.

Assistir o filme em partes seria uma boa ideia. É bem divertido, mas é um pouco difícil de acompanhar. Perdi o fio da meada diversas vezes assistindo esse filme, e precisei dar replay em alguns textos, então esse definitivamente não é o filme pra assistir quando você estiver cansado e quiser relaxar. De qualquer forma, eu realmente gostei, e pretendo procurar mais obras do Wes Anderson para assistir depois.

wes anderson, please never change

Normally I love Wes Anderson movies. I didn't make it all the way through this one. I'd ceased paying attention & was trying to "hold on" and make it through, but finally hit stop 20 min from the end.

Wow. This film is insufferable and inconsequential, it is all style over substance and exhausting in it's naval gazing misplaced nostalgia. If you love Wes Anderson this might be his zenith, I just like him, so unfortunately for me it's his nadir.

Wes Anderson has crafted an epic cinematic narrative with "The French Dispatch," a masterpiece that explores the love for European culture through an imaginary magazine. The director stages four interconnected stories, bringing to life iconic characters portrayed by a stellar cast, including Benicio Del Toro, Tilda Swinton, and Frances McDormand. The film opens with the announcement of the death of the magazine's founder, Arthur Howitzer Jr., masterfully played by Bill Murray. Each story unfolds with a unique and captivating visual style, revealing Anderson's brilliance in blending aesthetics and narrative. The cinematography by Robert D. Yeoman and Alexandre Desplat's music add layers of emotional and visual depth. In "Il Capolavoro di Cemento," Anderson paints a surreal fresco of the art world, offering a satire on the greed of art dealers. The story of "Revisioni a un Manifesto" captures the tumultuous energy of student riots, while "La Sala da Pranzo Privata del Commissario di Polizia" provides a suspenseful experience amid drugs and haute cuisine. "The French Dispatch" is more than a film; it is a work of art that celebrates Anderson's mastery in creating unique visual worlds. With a runtime of 108 minutes, the film takes audiences on an exciting and unforgettable journey, confirming Wes Anderson as one of the most visionary and distinctive directors of our time.
