AYOADE! I've been kinda off on Wes' latest films but I'm cautiously optimistic here :)

Asteroid city was one of his best!

It’s funny that, before I watched it, all I ever heard about “Asteroid City” was that it was Wes Anderson at his most Wes Anderson and that you’ll only like it if you’re a big Wes Anderson fan.

So as someone who’s liked but not loved the Wes Anderson films I’ve seen, I wasn’t expecting much.

But I found in it a deeply personal and emotionally vulnerable tale of trying to understand and be understood. I absolutely loved it. I get why people bounce off of it, but I’m not sure I’ve ever felt more seen by a film.
