I like Wes Anderson's style and I've seen half of his films. He always creates great scenery and invites talented actors. To my mind, The Life Aquatic, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom and especially The Grand Budapest Hotel are very charming movies. But there's one thing I don't understand. That is why does he make every film so similar to the other ones. At first it fascinates, but when I see the same actors, symmetrical shots and unrealistic character behavior every single time, it starts to irritate. It seems like Wes is stuck with his own technique and doesn't even think of altering it for a change. I'd like to see elaborate cinematography instead of steady symmetrical one and watch a movie about real people, not the ones behaving like imbeciles.
Speaking of The French Dispatch itself, it's not that bad, but is definitely boring in the second part. If Anderson does his next film in the same way and with the same actors again, I'll rate it lower than this film. I'm sure he's capable of more than constantly repeating himself.
