Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4221787, member: 2504"] The French Dispatch (2021) - A number of people in this thread have given this movie negative reviews. As I have mentioned before, I have been a big fan of Wes Anderson movies ever since I saw "Moonrise Kingdom". This movie generally got good reviews by the critics, but I also noticed that it did not get any Academy Award nominations, something that had caught my attention since Anderson movies have gotten nominated before. Anyway, this is a movie that I would have a difficult time recommending to anyone, as I was rather disappointed in it considering how much I like other Wes Anderson movies. I just didn’t find it all that interesting, and there was nothing that to me really held the anthology format of separate stories together all that well. I wouldn’t call it truly bad, but I didn’t find it all that good either. While I enjoy art house movies from time to time, this one did go a bit over the top in that regard, something that other reviewers in this thread had noted. There was one technical item that really bugged me, and that was the way parts of this movie were subtitled. The subtitles were a bit too small to read comfortably, and you were never given enough time to read them. [/QUOTE]
