I just saw The French Dispatch the other night and loved it, even though my Wes Anderson twee-tolerance-o-meter usually tends toward the low part of the dial. But I adored The Grand Budapest Hotel, so since my friend was rhapsodizing about the new one, I wanted to give it a go. It's the first time I've seen what it's like to work in a magazine office handled right--I usually end up losing my shit about how wildly, madly inaccurate working on publications is in film, but since this is a paean to the old New Yorker (and a bit Paris Review), they seem to have actually done the work. I just loved it; it felt like to quirky magazines what Spotlight was to newspaper reporting and made my editorial office heart beat louder. I'm not sure if it's on any channels where it can be rented, but I would recommend it.

Do you like Gothic Regency lesbian romances? Rose Lerner's The Wife in the Attic has some wonderfully chilling stuff in it as well as a complicated romance.
