I never fully enjoyed – and sometimes quite hated – Wes Anderson films until THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL. THE FRENCH DISPATCH is very nearly perfect, marred only (for me!) by the extended animated sequence (other people love it, I know). I still have ASTEROID CITY in my queue (my queue is a million miles long). I’ve never seen a Wes Anderson at the cinema, and I’m hoping I get to break my streak with this one, which looks like it has that GRAND BUDAPEST energy.
