Popcorn Culture - Review: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

Wes Anderson returns for a second Roald Dahl adaptation, with The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar - a fantasy short film that offers Anderson's signature stylistic and storytelling flourishes, melded with one of Dahl's sweetest tales, pun intended. As you'd expect, it also has a stacked cast, with Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel and Ben Kingsley all making appearances. We discuss if it lives up to expectations, and if we're looking forward to the next 5 adaptations of other Dahl stories.
