I love everything about Wes Anderson movies, including the fact that they can be difficult to sit through. To me, watching them is like reading classic literature...it's not fast paced or thrilling, but in the end, you will be glad you did it. I loved The Life Aquatic and think of it often when I read the popular children's book Manfish to my kids. I haven't seen French Dispatch but I will soon, regardless of how tepid your review is!
