Movie review: Saoirse Ronan among the many famous faces in The French Dispatch

While each segment is as beautifully detailed and subversively funny as we’ve come to expect, the whole is by no means the sum of its parts.

★★★☆☆

A new Wes Anderson movie is always an event, but The French Dispatch (15A) may prove an underwhelming experience for anyone hoping for a film of the quality of The Grand Budapest Hotel or The Royal Tenenbaums.
