Wes Anderson’s Roald Dahl Short Movie Opens To Career-Best Reviews On Rotten Tomatoes

The Rotten Tomatoes score for Wes Anderson’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is in, and it marks a career-best for the director. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar had its premiere on August 31 at the Venice Film Festival. It’s a short adaptation of author Roald Dahl’s story of the same name, which follows a man who attempts to learn an unusual skill so that he can cheat at gambling. Anderson previously also successfully adapted Dahl’s children’s book Fantastic Mr. Fox to film, but this second adaptation has surpassed the performance of the first.
