The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

[GibbosEmpire]

Is the most batshit crazy movie I've ever watched in my life. My girlfriend loved it, my attention span went out the window in the first minute and I found it way too fast. If you've watched it, what did you think? It's on Netflix

Its a Roald Dahl book - I remember reading it as a kid. I agree its a bit weird but thats Wes Anderson - personally not a big fan

I think there are a few other Wes Anderson directed Dahl shorts stories coming too

I enjoyed it but I totally get what you mean

I think there's a series of them, I really don't get it. The pace of it was so hard to follow, the way the story is told by the actors was interesting though.

I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan, but I found this one annoying. I'd prefer to see the story acted out rather than narrated word-for-word in a rapid-fire style, and even allowing for Wes' usual quirks, this just didn't work for me at all.

However, I found the other three shorter films better, particularly The Ratcatcher, which was much more watchable and featured an excellent performance from Ralph Fiennes.

I'm loving them. Such a nice lighthearted watch. Nowt wrong with a bit of nonsense every now and again.

I enjoyed it, but short, can't be helped with the source material though.
