The Phoenician Scheme

What to Know

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.

Read Critics Reviews

Audience Says

Another meticulously staged production by Wes Anderson, The Phoenician Scheme is an A-list variety show that will particularly tickle Andersonites with its whimsical dead-pan delivery of verbal delicacies.

Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) The Phoenician Scheme is very agreeable and charming. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Sam Adams Slate If Asteroid City was Wes Anderson’s defense of his own methods... The Phoenician Scheme is his exploration of everything those methods aren’t sufficient to encompass. Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground Cuts deep emotionally, and seamlessly shows how he's a master at his usual touches while also venturing into new territory. Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Ellen E Jones Observer (UK) Anderson’s shot compositions always were pleasing to the eye. It’s the heart and the brain that are starved when every emotion is kept at such a vast ironic distance. Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal It’s a striking picture that visually complements the excellent, intentional performances. Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

jeanna i Very creative and entertaining!❤️ Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Marcel Another great by Wes Anderson. Benicio Del Toro killed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Samantha Art house film meets mob movie - it was an interesting watch. Worth a watch if you are a Wes Anderson fan. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Eric if you're a fan of Wes Anderson, watch this film, you won't be disappointed. was left a bit adrift after Astroid City, I liked the some of its parts. The Phoenician Scheme is definitely more of a return to form and the cast is great! Benicio del Toro is great as well as Mia Threapleton who plays his estranged daughter. go watch it If you can, it'll be a fun time to be had. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Brian G Hilarious, clever. Will definitely watch again Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Todd I love movies like this but this one was hard to follow. Im still not sure what it was really about.
