The Phoenician Scheme

I hope it's good. I really really enjoy Anderson's stuff, although his last effort "Asteroid City" was quite the miss.
 
I was seriously considering it because of the trailer, which looked funny enough.

But then I remembered I went to see Asteroid City because of the cast.

Big mistake.

To anyone that has seen it, please feel free to enlighten me.

Honestly I got bored through it and ended up clock watching. The cast is great, the script has the usual quirks and it's shot beautifully, but it missed some charm and excitement from it. Better than Asteroid but not a scratch on Budapest. I had a private screening because no one else had booked that cinema at the time to watch it. The story has a lot of similarities to Budapest with the lead/support roles but the negotiations through the film just add confusion.
 
Wes Andersin films are a bit hit or miss for me. I persevered through The French Despatch but just couldn't finish it. Unlikely to watch this one.
