The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

Director: Wes Anderson
Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch | Ralph Fiennes | Dev Patel | Ben Kingsley | Richard Ayoade
Released: 2023
Rating: ★★★☆

A very faithful adaptation of the Roald Dahl short story. Only 40 minutes long, and most every minute is filled with dialogue that is often word-for-word from the book. Doesn’t deviate from the Wes Anderson formula—clever sets, colour, lighting, a (small) ensemble cast—but the short duration means he doesn’t wear out his welcome.
