Critics Consensus

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.

3/4

"Annoyingly precious," say Wes Anderson detractors who hate his intricate and elitist cinema dioramas that lack the common touch. Maybe. But this one takes us past the pastel color palettes that windmill in his mind to find the ache that feels human

2.5/5

Is there a future where I revisit Phoenician and find it significantly funnier and more profound (as was the case with Grand Budapest)? Yes, but unlike Korda’s redemption arc, mine isn’t imminent.

4/5

Labyrinthine tale of grand entrepreneurship and the fickleness of fortune, with perfectly formed aesthetics and jazz-beat editing, cerebrally satisfying in its every mannered whimsy [...] warmly nestles a sweet story of fatherly love.

It seems no one is living in Anderson's movies anymore--the deadpan, blank-faced "humans" at the center of Anderson's movies are merely apart of the decoration, no more emotional but no less beautiful than the (designs) that draw our eyes to his films.
