The Phoenician Scheme

I think it's fair to say we have reached terminal level Wes Anderson. I think we were already there with Asteroid City, and yet again I'm not getting much out of this. You can only bring back the same ensemble cast and quirky mannerisms before it gets old, especially for me, not being a huge fan of his style to begin with. That could work with directors whose work I lap up (Michael Mann), but it just doesn't for me with Wes.

Watched at the Park Theatre in Vancouver. A little single screen theatre, strangely enough operated by Cineplex.
