After much deliberation a decision was made by the family to watch The French Despatch, the recently released film by Wes Anderson. His usual stellar cast - Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Benicio Del Toro, and Tilda Swinton amongst them. What could possibly go wrong?
To be honest, I had my concerns but was outvoted. Paid the £12 to Netflix and started the film. Wes Anderson films are quirky, to say the least, but sadly my concerns were correct, it's a terrible film. Just disjointed rambling, going nowhere. Awful.
The seven of us watching dwindled in numbers and after 45 minutes someone was brave enough to ask if anyone was enjoying it. The answer from few still watching was a resounding 'no', so we switched it off. A little bit peeved that it cost £12 on Netflix. Money wasted.
