Der Phönizische Meisterstreich

It’s impossible to even entertain the idea that all Wes Anderson films are the same when The Phoenician Scheme proves that the director is at his most fun when he bends his rules.

A charming arms dealer heads on the road to redemption in this pristine shot of pure pleasure from filmmaker Wes Anderson.

...another sublime Wes Anderson fantasy.

Mia Threapleton shines in Wes Anderson’s muted new confection.

...a film that feels slighter than the surprisingly heavy “Asteroid City” but that hums with the precise craftsmanship that we expect from this singular filmmaker.

Film fans looking for a rival spy movie to the Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will get a kick out of this latest confection.
