New Release Review - "The Phoenician Scheme"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-05-31

Wes Anderson's films are like intricately crafted dollhouses. The good ones feel human and alive, like a dollhouse a little girl has filled with her imagination. The bad ones are like a dollhouse on display in an upmarket shop window, existing to be admired rather than enjoyed. The Phoenician Scheme belongs to the latter category. It's not quite as visually meticulous as we've become accustomed to from Anderson, but it still looks better than 90% of the movies that will grace cinema screens this year. Yet while it's easy to admire the upholstery and carpentry of its sets, its story is almost impenetrably uninteresting, as are most of its characters.

Frank Hanavan: "Natural & Plus"

Frank Hanavan's Hoboken is wet. In his streetscapes, surfaces glisten. The sky is rarely glowering, but it does seem full; ready to have something to say, or wrapping up something that it is busy saying. The canopy of foliage that hangs over the streetcorners feels saturated with moisture. Even the shadows on the sidewalk are puddle blue. Businesses have their umbrellas open. A few people do, too.
