'The Phoenician Scheme'Review: A Hilarious Return to Form for Wes Anderson

The Phoenician Scheme is a hilarious return to deadpan form for Wes Anderson, whose last effort, Asteroid City, pushed abstraction off a cliff and was only accessible to die-hard fans. Here, Anderson corrects course with a supremely entertaining and bonkers adventure that's chock-full of his trademark style. Benicio del Toro leads a typically impressive cast to wacky glory, but it's a pair of supporting performances from Mia Threapleton and a knockdown-funny Michael Cera that will have audiences rolling in the aisles. That said, The Phoenician Scheme is by no means flawless, as Anderson's scenes linger beyond the laughs.
