“You know the expression “It’s more than the sum of its parts”? Wes Anderson’s new film, The Phoenician Scheme, is entertaining, humorous and visually striking but its parts…are the reason not to take a toilet break.” –The Australian
“Each set is carefully assembled, with the blocking of each shot perfectly aligned, and Anderson’s rat-a-tat dialogue is delivered exactly as written. Still, there’s a spontaneity to the storytelling and the world it’s moving through.” –The Atlantic
“What peps up THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME are some of its performances, specifically del Toro’s”. – San Jose Mercury News
“Star-crammed and detailed,THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME delights.” –AARP Movies for Grownups
“At its fleeting best — in its meditation on the transactional and the transcendent — this one feels like it’s reaching for something more than surface charm.” –Washington Post
PG-13, 101min
