Review by bostwickenator

Asteroid City is the cumulation of Wes Anderson's style. It's beautifully meta, beautifully beautiful, and painful hurt. The pacing of the movie throws you between contemplative emotional scenes and unexpected humour in a way that keeps you guessing what is going to happen with delightful results. It does this more elegantly in my humble opinion than the other entries in his catalog, managing to avoid the sometimes inscrutable randomness of some of his movies. Everything even the oddities feel like they have a reason and a purpose. The movie itself is directly interested in finding purpose and that pulls you in.

All of the characters feel like they have a story and depth which we only get to glimpse in passing. My only regret about this movie is that there isn't going to be more of it.
