Asteroid City tells the story of a playwright named Conrad Earp(Edward Norton) & we experience a play called Asteroid City that he stages, with a wide array of colorful characters.
Asteroid City is a brilliant film. Director Wes Anderson has given us another movie with all his signature trademarks. It's hilarious, quirky & unique, while still maintaining all the ingredients that are classic Wes Anderson. The only problem is, the film is a bit slow. Plus, it's not as hilarious & perfect as some of Wes Anderson's iconic movies like, The Grand Budapest Hotel(2014), Moonrise Kingdom(2012) & Isle of Dogs(2018), to name a few. The production design by Adam Stockhausen is superb. Jason Schwartzman is outstanding as Augie Steenbeck. Scarlett Johansson is spectacular as Midge Campbell. Bryan Cranston, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Edward Norton, Maya Hawke, Rupert Friend, Tilda Swinton, Steve Carell & Liev Schreiber are phenomenal as the Host, Stanley Zak, General Gibson, Conrad Earp, June, Montana, Dr. Hickenlooper, the Motel Manager & J. J. Kellogg, respectively. Jake Ryan, Grace Edwards, Aristou Meehan, Ethan Josh Lee & Sophia Lillis are amazing, as Woodrow, Dinah, Clifford, Ricky & Shelly, respectively. The supporting cast is unforgettable. Asteroid City is a must watch for Wes Anderson fans. Just lower your expectations, a tiny bit.
