I haven’t seen anyone say a thing about Asteroid City and it was so damn good. It stole the title of my favorite Wes Anderson movie from Life Aquatic like 15 minutes in. One of the best comedies I’ve seen in a long time. The alien scene is just the best. Especially when you notice the opening credits say “Jeff Goldblum as The Alien” and you’re waiting for it and are like “huh?” When he finally shows up. 🤣
Interesting perspective. I thought it was his most obnoxious film to date. It was a movie that insisted upon itself and quite frankly bored and confused me. It was like no one said no to Anderson to reign him in at all.
IMO His best movies (like Grand Budapest or Moonrise Kingdom) have an emotional core that counteracts the arch, one-eyebrow-raised-ness, but Asteroid City was just completely self-indulgent, overly convoluted, and emotionally inert.
I found it insufferable and nearly didn’t finish it.
