NYFF Film Review: ‘The French Dispatch’ Holds You At Arm’s Length
Wes Anderson is an acquired taste, to be sure. While plenty of folks love him and worship at the alter of Anderson, I confess to running hot and mostly cold on him.

Starting this morning, Press and Industry screenings (better known as P&I screenings) will begin for the 59th New York Film Festival.
