Review of The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021) by Hinglemccringle — 16 Dec 2021

I really like Wes Anderson, Grand Budapest is one of my favourite films, and eagerly await every new release of his distinct works but this fell a bit flat for me. It felt largely mechanical and by the numbers even by his standards, I'll need to rewatch it a few times to be sure but I'd place it somewhere in the bottom two or three in his filmography.

I went in as blind as possible so the structure of it essentially being a series of shorts surprised and in the end disappointed me because some portions greatly outshone the others with "The Concrete Masterpiece" being a personal standout.
