The French Dispatch Ratings & Reviews
Jonathon Pack
May 30, 2025
Good looking and great performances, but not much beyond that.

Very good, Wes Anderson of course but I still prefer Grand Budapest hotel 🏨
Crooked Marquee
Jason Bailey
It's not lightweight, and it's not silly, and there's a moment of genuine pathos at the end of the third story that's quite unlike anything Anderson has ever done.
Chicago Reader
Taryn Allen
It has everything that we've come to expect from Wes Anderson-carefully crafted aesthetics, perfect color palettes, and intricate tableaux of actors.
Reverse Shot
Adam Nayman
The three major episodes in The French Dispatch are of roughly equivalent length, weight, and quality, although to be honest I only really liked the first one.
Book & Film Globe
Sara Stewart
If you come to The French Dispatch loving Anderson, there's much to continue loving here.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
I think it's marvelous from minute to minute.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
It is all of [Wes Anderson's] indulgences writ large in tiny font.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
If anything, "The French Dispatch" perhaps suffers because of its abundance which on first viewing can seem like overwhelming excess, but I think will hold up enormously well.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
It's hard to describe how ingenious, creative, and bold this work is.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
I can't help but wonder if the frantic pastiche and rampant nostalgia of this film weakened my ability to enjoy it. It feels hollow.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
It's easily the most mannered movie Anderson has made, which is really saying something. It's so mannered at times as to be almost unmoored - speaking of ships - but the many marvels it contains make that an acceptable price to pay.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Anderson has always played by his own rules and created his own version of reality. It doesn'talways click, but when it does, it creates something special. "The French Dispatch" is something special.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chris Hewitt
If you like Anderson movies such as "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel," you'll like "French Dispatch," which he wrote and directed.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
The movie is an anthology not only of vibrant magazine stories come to life, but of seemingly everything Anderson knows how to do as a director. For some, this will inevitably feel more like a limit. For the rest of us, it's one of his best
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
"The French Dispatch" is perhaps Anderson's best film to date. It is certainly his most accomplished.

Leonard Maltin
This is not the first time Anderson has devoted too much time to minutiae and too little to actual storytelling. Even devotees of his work may find this an exercise in frustration-albeit an exceptionally handsome one.
Polygon
Robert Daniels
Often a distant omnibus that might appeal only to his most ardent fans.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Bill Murray, Timothee Chalamet, Benicio del Toro and Frances McDormand are among the stars enjoying pinpoint dialogue in the exquisitely rendered collection of stories.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Even for a Wes Anderson movie, every frame of "The French Dispatch" feels oppressively coffee-table ready - a wryly anal-retentive labor of love hermetically sealed and disconnected from any larger sense of purpose.
