   It’ll surprise nobody who remembers my praise for Asteroid City to hear that I loved The Phoenician Scheme. It’s Wes Anderson with the dials turned to max. You’ll either love it or be annoyed.

   Mia Threaplton is fantastic in the lead role. Doing deadpan with aplomb.

   Richard Ayoade is superb as the jungle bandit leader, Sergio.

   The usual recent Wes Anderson regulars round out a stellar cast. Plus new ones.

   Definitely a keeper. A film for multiple viewings. 9/10.

     @WarnerCrocker I was surprised to see it was already in cinemas here. Opens there in June I think?

     @ianRobinson I think so. Travel will keep me from seeing it until then anyway.
