1. A lot of twitter jokesters had a field day a New Yorker critic named The French Dispatch as the best film of 2021 -- it seemed a mite self-congratulatory for The New Yorker to celebrate a film celebrating The New Yorker.pic.twitter.com/mHtSfTFTRS

Where would I go to read the anti-French Dispatch side of this polarization? Any pieces you'd recommend? I loved it, everyone on my TL seems to love it, if there's two sides to the zeitgeist here my algorithm seems to be hiding it from me.
Myth no. 1 is that The French Dispatch is nostalgic; myth no. 2 is that a New Yorker critic wasn't enthusiastic about Wes Anderson's films until he made one about The New Yorker.
I'd agree that nostalgia Wes Anderson's subject rather than his tone. He's exploring narrative uses of nostalgic fetish items . And, of course, many are enthusiastic for Anderson & French Dispatch without any NY affiliation -- I'm one of those!
The late editor/author Daniel Menaker wrote a great memoir of working inside the New Yorker. No mythologizing.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17196516-my-mistake …
I love James Thurber, but it was hard to get through The Years With Ross. If I had a boss like that, I wouldn't last two years.
