Film Reviews

"Star-crammed and detailed, The Phoenician Scheme delights."

–Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups

"[...] this is a rather soul-obsessed movie, the kind you often see from artists who have been pondering the meaning of life lately."

–Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times

"To me, this is the most “Wes Anderson”-y that the director has been in a while. It is all about the lines and the picturesque shots and that allows you to laugh when the movie begins to have a little bit of fun."

–Rachel Leishman, The Mary Sue
