Review of The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021) by Bertobellamy — 12 Nov 2021

I think Wes Anderson films are all about style; I can hardly remember the story of some of them. I don't think he's a bad director; but, for me, the excess in detail is distracting. 'The French Dispatch' is your typical Wes Anderson movie, and I can't stop wondering if he'll keep on doing the same thing when he's 70.

It's cool and all, but I wish he tried something else. Nevertheless, his new movie is fun, has good acting, and writes a love letter to journalism, a dying profession.
