Really enjoyed all 4 films, particularly Henry Sugar. Hope Wes Anderson continues more Dahl adaptations - his style just seems to blend so well with the stories. After watching The Swan, I want to actively pay more attention to Rupert Friend as an actor. The majority of the film was basically him narrating and acting out every character but I found it really captivating and engaging throughout. Not an easy feat.

The Rat Catcher was the highlight for me. Had the most fun with the style with the little moments like when Ralph Fiennes is miming all his props, or the part where he is delivering his lines through a stop motion animated rat and the scene with the bet being presented almost like a horror movie.

September 27, 2023 - The art style and direction of the film is unlike anything I have watched before thanks to Wes Anderson's directing. Benedict Cumberbatch is fantastic as Henry Sugar, and I quite liked the supporting cast as well.
