Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City offers a visually stunning, quirky escape, yet feels like it’s missing some of the emotional depth that has grounded his previous work. Set in a stylized, 1950s desert town, the film presents an eccentric ensemble of characters, with performances that range from deadpan to delightfully absurd. Anderson’s signature color palette and meticulous framing are in full force, lending each shot a painterly quality that fans of his aesthetic will adore.
