Perfect!
"The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar" has always been my favourite Roald Dahl story so I've been looking forward to this film for months, especially since I heard that Benedict Cumberbatch was going to be playing the lead - this is absolutely perfect casting! I was praying it would be a faithful adaptation and I wasn't disappointed!
I was worried when I saw it was only 37 minutes long, but it's incredibly dense for such a short film. Wes Anderson's quirky style is ideal for adapting Roald Dahl. It's like seeing a bedtime story come alive! It's beautifully shot and features a stellar cast including Cumberbatch, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes (as Roald Dahl), Dev Patel, Richard Ayoade and Rupert Friend.
10/10!
