VAFF Opening Night Film: The French Dispatch
My One Line Review of The French Dispatch (because I just don't care enough to give it more):
That was the most skillfully made TERRIBLE film that I have possibly ever seen.
Just absolutely a terrible mumbled pretentious indulgent mess (woops, that was two lines.)
I saw some fantastic films at this year's VA Film Festival, possibly a couple that were truly great, and I'll be posting about many of them shortly. However, to my surprise, the Opening Night Film, Wes Anderson's "The French Dispatch," was definitely NOT one of them.
*I take no pleasure in critiquing a Wes Anderson film so harshly, as he has made a few that I adore, but I speak my truth and stand behind it.
