    I loved the way this movie was done, for the real film fans who can appreciate a unique film that challenges your spiritual perspective and makes you laugh. Symmetrical in framing is an understatement and I love it. Everything perfectly aligned start to finish. Great…

    Sigh, at least it was better than Asteroid City. At least for me it was anyway.

In the end, The Phoenician Scheme has a warm and beating heart.

It’s overstuffed, and thus skims and skitters across the surface of everything it touches, only glancing here and there before it’s taking off to the next story beat, the next exquisitely detailed composition.

The film belongs to Del Toro and Threapleton, each of whom steal the film in disparate ways.
