Theater lovers and set designers rejoice. Wes has returned with a new world of pastel laden backdrops and tasty dialogue. Fresh off the heels of a very mediocrely received Asteroid City, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar dazzles in short format. Those who are into theater plays with long monologues and vivid sets will adorn Henry Sugar's story. The film's structure is well composed and cut down to such a necessity-like level that it almost becomes candy. While absent anything particularly award worthy in performances, the ensemble is an extremely likable cast who deliver truthful to their characters. There is little by way of dislike...unless Wes' style has never been appealing to you, because this very much feels like Wes giving an encore acoustically.
