Reviews

“Yes, there’s still an ironic distance between such elements and the audience, but “ The French Dispatch ” feels less safe than Anderson’s earlier work, and that’s a good thing.”

Peter Debruge

Variety

“The director’s 10th feature is among his most visually remarkable, each frame filled with meticulously crafted small details that add up to a dense, inviting cinematic jewel box.”

Tim Grierson

Screen International

“Mostly, though, The French Dispatch is a fun watch because it keeps reinventing itself. Each chapter gives another journalist the chance to take charge.”
