Wes Anderson at his most visually inventive and least emotionally involving. anthologies will do that to ya. starts strong (Jacques Tati! Dirty Tilda! Benicio doing the mr. fox growl a lot), peters out as it goes. fun enough to be worthy of an editor’s burial, which is really the best any of us can hope for in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity.

I feel like I just ate a perfectly cooked meal by one of my favorite chefs. Just the right number of courses. Delicious.

everything i wanted it to be and more! i know on my inevitable 5th watch i’ll decide this is 5 stars so i may as well just take one for the team and be the first person i know to give it 5 now. and who cares about stars anyway. i loved it, i had a good ass time. what else is there to it?

Gerek sinematografisi olsun, gerek oyuncu kadrosu olsun, senaryosu olsun Wes Anderson’in filmlerini cok seviyorum☹️☹️❤️🩹. Ozellikle bu filmdeki hikayelere ve yazilis sekline bayildim. Sinema endustrisindeki en sevdigim yonetmenlerden birisi.

Wes Andersonin film cekmek icin aslinda hikayeye bile ihtiyaci olmadigini kanitlayan film. bir dergiyi karistirir gibi izliyorsun sayfalar arasinda kayboluyor bazen bir yazinin ortasinda dikkatin dagiliyor sonra baska bir gorsele takilip tekrar donuyorsun. hikayelerden cok hikayelerin anlatilma bicimi ilgimi cekti. her kare o kadar detayli ve canli ki film surekli bakacak yeni bir sey veriyor. kimi zaman o kadar fazla sey oluyor ki insan filmle arasina mesafe koyuyor ama sanirim Wes Anderson tam olarak bunu istiyor. gercek bir dunyadan cok sayfalar arasinda sikismis kusursuz bir hayal dunyasi gibi. Wes Andersonin en Wes Anderson filmi olabilir.

Wes Anderson is no Paul W.S. Anderson and I’m reminded of that every time I watch one of the former’s movies

This film with its wonderfully verbose and charming stories is severely underatted in Wes Andersons filmography, it may be in this reviewer’s opinion a contender for his best. Every story feels like perfect prose translated to film and if you give it the attention it deserves, rewards you with some of the most emotionally charged scenes I have seen, or rather felt, in film. Its simply and utterly perfect. Every inch of detail delights. I never wanted it to end. A true ode to journalism. Magnifique.

Wes Anderson sendo Wes Anderson em contar suas tramas. Gostei do formato usado aqui para apresentar os conteúdos das colunas e como as histórias foram se enriquecendo. Narração boa com um elenco completamente conhecido. Um conjunto maneiro de estilos num único filme.

Eu amo MUITO o jeito que o Wes dirige os filmes dele e conta as histórias. Não sei se é porque fazia muito tempo que eu não assistia a um filme dele, mas esse me pareceu tão Wes Anderson. Me perdi um pouco no começo, mas depois fui pegando o ritmo. O Benicio Del Toro tá IGUAL ao Post Malone. O Timmy aqui tá tão querido. A terceira história foi a que eu menos gostei, achei meio confusa e, pro final, foi ficando meio cansativa, mas eu amei tanto as partes de tirinha. Enfim, Wes Anderson eu te amo.

no sé muy bien cómo explicar lo que me pasó con esta película. Me gustó, pero siento que la disfruté más por lo visual y por la forma en la que está hecha que por la historia en sí. La colorimetría, personajes rarísimos y un montón de detalles en cada escena. Por momentos sentía que no estaba entendiendo mucho, pero tampoco me molestó. Creo que es de esas películas que no necesariamente tenés que entender del todo para disfrutar. Algunas…

87 per usual, a visually stunning movie full of highly aesthetic and symmetrical shots. i can see why the separated nature of the stories wouldn’t be as appealing to some people but i really enjoyed the small yet still present string in each story that connected them. def an underrated wes anderson film

“try to make it sound like you wrote that on purpose”. What a crazy, breath-taking, creative and inspiring ride. As always, Wes delivers a carefully curated experience, with his signature style, cinematography, comedy, dialog and everything we love about him. But the theme of this one is one that really resonates with me. Stories of Creation, different writers display their own perceptions with their particular styles on a specific setting. It was difficult to follow at times, because of its…

Aesthetically pleasing with an absolutely star studded cast. Film is basically a collection of short stories. I would say 2/4 were great. A really cool film overall and Wes Anderson maxxed

Es rara, tiene su ritmo extraño tal vez para algunos, pero las historias son tan cheveres raras e interesantes, y amo los actores que estoy viendo. Me encanta esa sensacion de que todo se siente tan demasiado arte que me sobre llena de felicidad de tanta cosa bonita xd

I love how anti american audience Wes Anderson’s films are. If you look away for a few seconds you might just miss the most crucial speeches of the movie

E eu chorei, CHOREI ALINE É um filme interessante, mas acho que o jeito que eu vi me deixou de saco cheio, vi 1 conto por dia no ônibus vindo pra faculdade, fiquei de saco cheio. Quero muito rever algum dia pra talvez aumentar a nota

Good movie could have been better with more prosthetics and also minions. 0 stars, 4 and a half of those are Ley Sedoux

“I’m not brave. I just wasn’t in the mood to be a disappointment to everybody.” I felt like the movie was a bit too condensed making it a bit hard to get invested in the characters. Still, I enjoyed it.

I was expecting more… Coming from a person who loves slow burn movies, this one was kinda boring. The traditional Wes Anderson style with too many actors and too many styles. I zoned out too many times…

Alıcısı ben olmayan bi mektubu okumuşum gibi hissettirdi. Gazeteciliğe bir mektup yazılmış. Wes anderson’ın simetri ve renk cümbüşü yine şaşırtmadı.

“Just try to make it sound like you wrote it that way on purpose.” that is the motto of this movie. it’s about storytelling and art. “The point is he could paint this beautifully if he wanted. But he thinks this is better.” maybe my favorite wes anderson cast with chalamet and seydoux (with real screen time compared to gbh). definitely my favorite score of his, kinda insane that it, along with the rest of the movie, didnt receive any…

“Just try to make It sound like you wrote it that way on purpose.” The Cycling Reporter (****) – Efficient, quirky, and it’s nice to see Owen Wilson in a Wes Anderson film again. Sets up the French town of Ennui nicely. The Concrete Masterpiece (*****) – Benicio Del Toro carries this segment and it’s attention to detail over the act of painting and the selling of art is always interesting and charming. Revisions to a Manifesto (*****) – Captures…

I did not know how bad I needed a second watch. There’s something enigmatic about an artist fully realized and creating at the “peak” of their metamorphosis. Especially with how thorough Anderson is within his own style—there’s always something new to discover. Each new film is like a treasure trove of melancholic, dead-pan delivered wit and humor. Watching through his films via his box set has been such a treat. I’ve observed and dissected the seeds planted in Bottle Rocket and…

ça confirme encore plus a quel point j’adore toute la mise en scène de Wes Anderson, l’article raconté en 3 histoires j’aime trop et puis je m’attendais pas vraiment a voir autant de tête connues dans ce film et le mélange de français et anglais ça m’a bien plus aussi (S/O Lea Seydoux papapaaaaaa)

The French Dispatch His most artistic piece. It’s his most misunderstood work in that people believed it’s style over substance when it doesn’t, it’s a terrifically profound film that dwells in themes of connection, longing, isolation, expression, and impact. It a 3 story anthology and each part is incredible and unique. It can be hilarious, poignant, and revealing. The packaging of the film inserts so much life and expression. There are so many artistic flourishes made, certain directing choices he…

The only reason I’m rating this as high as I am is because the filmmaking is absolutely masterclass and phenomenal. However, I really did not like the short stories concept but also found them tough to follow on the inside. I think a second watch would allow me to better understand this film but right now, I felt this was more confusing than enthralling.

I truly believe that Adrien Brody isn’t acting in this and that Wes Anderson just followed him around with a camera. On list: ‘Name a woman!’ Challenge 2026

it was fine. i wasn’t really paying attention after timmothee chalamet disappeared but that’s totally just my problem. i didn’t like how he didn’t speak french. i was quite offended by that because i really did think he knew french… never mind i guess.

I understand that the form doesn’t work for everyone, but there are some moments here of emotional vulnerability that I feel are the true core of the Dollhouse Style Experiment. I will never forget feeling like a lightning bolt coursed through me when Saoirse Ronan looks through the lock – but I probably should not make jokes about people being struck by lightning in relation to this movie.

«The future. Which is you.» необычная задумка и потрясающее воплощение. я обожаю такую съемку,переходы и общую картину,сочетающую в себе необычные переходы и приближение камеры. сами истории были очень интересные,хоть и первые минут 30 я не могла понять,почему кадр то цветной,то черно-белый. единственное,для меня самой абсурдной и скучной историей осталась вторая,за которую и снизила оценку. но в целом фильм все равно приятно смотреть! не сомневалась в творчестве андерсона🤞

Cada una de las historias breves está tan bien construida que te permite olvidar por momentos que vas a regresar a la redacción de la revista. La estética de Wes Anderson siempre me funciona, en este caso celebro la exploración de algunas técnicas distintas, como la animación en la secuencia sobre comida/persecución policiaca y la intercalación de momentos a color y a blanco y negro. Las apariciones breves y puntuales del personaje de Bill Murray se sienten redondas, solidifican al…

Jeg tror det der fucker mig op på Wes Anderson i virkeligheden ikke har meget at gøre med om det er gode film eller ej, men jeg mister følelserne i det over planlagte. Selvom det er mega flot. Men jeg som sætter ekstrem pris på flot scene opsætning og cinematography, syntes simpelthen bare at den falder følsesmæssgit kort for mig da den bliver kommunikeret igennem farver, kamera, vinkler og knep. Så Wes Anderson er super super dygtig jo, og jeg respektere ham og hans arbejde dybt, men jo mere stylised og nærmest editorial det bliver, jo mere falder jeg fra.
