“A caper made with all the
intricacy of a Rube Goldberg machine, The Phoenician Scheme doesn't
deviate from Wes Anderson's increasingly ornate style but delivers the formula
with mannered delicacy.”
Rotten Tomatoes
"It goes without saying, but
the film dazzles with its trompe-l’oeil-like worldbuilding, which inhabits the
fairy tale reality of Anderson’s mind without ever giving over to the wayward
indulgence of dream logic.”
Little White Lies
“His tender, witty, wondrous
The Phoenician Scheme is the most Andersonian Anderson film to date – but then
again, they all are, and that’s the fun of them.”
The Telegraph
“This isn’t just an aesthetic
exercise. It’s a sandblasted fable about meaning and memory. The Phoenician
Scheme doesn’t ask you to love it. It dares you to look closer. And for those
who do, the reward is quietly spectacular.”
Film Threat
“Part caper, part spy movie,
and part family drama, The Phoenician Scheme feels both like a return to form
for Anderson while also feeling like an evolution for the auteur as his style
changes bit by bit.”
