5 / 6

Translated from swedish: Wes Anderson's latest is about the miserly Henry Sugar. The short film, based on Roald Dahl's novella, is full of inspired storytelling joy.

4 / 5

Translated from swedish: I wouldn't mind at all if Wes Anderson decided to keep making short films for a while. "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar" is the best thing he's done in ages and he clearly needs to reinvent himself before making another feature film.
