The Phoenician Scheme(2025)

6.5/10

dir. Wes Anderson

S-Tier

Universal dropped this on 4K fast, July 29, 2025, which is unusual for a Wes Anderson title. Extras are thin compared to a Criterion treatment, just a four-part making-of. Collectors are split, with some buying now and others holding out for a future Criterion 4K the way Moonrise Kingdom eventually got one.
