Where to Watch ‘The French Dispatch’

Allons-y! The first reviews for Wes Anderson‘s star-studded The French Dispatch are in, and the results are looking pretty enticing. The comedy from the director of Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums debuted at the Cannes Film Festival today, and early reactions are glowing: “a delectable tribute to journalism,” wrote one viewer on Twitter, saying the film “packs so many intricate and eccentric details into the milieu of ennui-sur-blasé that it’s almost overwhelming (not in a bad way).” If you’re itching to see what all the fuss is about, you’re not alone! We can help you figure out where to watch The French Dispatch.

Take a deep breath, because this cast might just blow you away. Stars featured in The French Dispatch include Timothée Chalamet, Frances McDormand, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Léa Seydoux, Owen Wilson, Saoirse Ronan, Jeffrey Wright, and Elisabeth Moss. That cast should be enough to allure you to the film, but we’ll give you a hint at the plot just to secure your excitement. Anderson’s film follows a 20th century Kansas journalism outpost located in France, inspired by Anderson’s love of The New Yorker.

Will The French Dispatch be streaming? Where to watch The French Dispatch:

The French Dispatch has to hit theaters before it heads to streaming, so you’ve got quite a while to wait before you’ll see it streaming anywhere. As stated above, the release date for the film is October 16 — but that’s exclusively in theaters. Wait until October, then wait a few more months, and then start looking for the film.

Eventually, though, The French Dispatch will hit a streaming service near you. Disney owns Searchlight Pictures, the studio distributing the film. So, The French Dispatch could very well land on Disney+ or Hulu, because the company owns both of those mega-streamers.
