Asteroid City

The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.

Asteroid City is classic Wes Anderson — which may or may not be a compliment, depending on how you feel about his other films.

A great return to form for Wes Anderson… This feels like his best movie since Moonrise Kingdom.

The pieces fit like a jigsaw, and Anderson’s toggling between the widescreen color vistas of Asteroid City and the boxy screen ratio of the black-and-white TV segments ensure that the foreground story and the background commentary never get confused.
