*“*The Phoenician Scheme tethers the filmmaker’s existential interests (the unfettered power of the billionaire class, unchecked greed and environmentalism) to the kind of poignant humanistic narrative that’s been missing from his latest offerings.” – Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter
“…tender, witty, wondrous…the most Andersonian Anderson film to date – but then again, they all are, and that’s the fun of them” – Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
“If there’s hope in these films, it’s in a reestablishment of human connection. As father and daughter, Del Toro and Threapleton (daughter of Kate Winslet), establish real chemistry as people willing to change for the better.” – G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
