Wes Anderson has fully evolved. He started small with Bottle Rocket, found his voice with Rushmore, perfected it with the Royal Tenenbaums, got ambitious with Life Aquatic, took a step back with Darjeeling Limited, tried animation with Fantastic Mr. Fox, tried ambitious live action once more with Moonrise Kingdom, basically was his own genre with Grand Budapest Hotel. He returned to animation with Isle of Dogs was post modern with French Dispatch and then had Asteroid City, a film I loved but no one talked about. He is one of my top 5 filmmakers of all time, and his films will always be events. Phoenician Scheme is his darkest film yet. Typical Wes plot and humor only amped. The best Benico Del Toro and Michael Cera have been in years, the rest of the cast is outstanding especially Mia Threapleton. Bonkers, heartfelt and stylish, what more do you want from Wes Anderson?
