“unconvincing” is the word that comes to mind. i don't buy anything about andrew (are we left to infer that he's so great at party-starting because of his younger brother? because he isn't as mature as he wants to be? because he's just such a great, talented guy?) or domino (because of both the drowsiness of johnson's performance and her written-by-a-man coolness: her "messiness" is never dangerous or sad, just sexual and comforting), especially because the actors' casting muffles the…

The French Dispatch 2021
probably the most overtly ✨quirky✨ of anderson’s work, which is a plus and a minus, but as a mediocre french student and a current copyeditor, there was a lot to love!
