Wes Anderson's latest twee adventure is a colorful bore, as a corrupt capitalist trots the globe with his estranged nun daughter, dodging assassinations while trying to make the deal of a lifetime.
We seem to disagree on Anderson, especially when it comes to which films of his we like. Asteroid City and Isle of Dogs are my least favorite of his films, and Grand Budapest Hotel is my 8th favorite, though the difference in quality between 1 and 9 is slim when it comes to Anderson. In any event, I find his films to be very different from one another thematically, and each has its own personality and message. With the exception of AC and IoD, they all resonate with me, and with each viewing I find something new and thought-provoking to ponder. I hope The Phoenician Scheme is a return to his earlier efforts.
