Revolving around an astronomy convention in a desert town, the film unleashes a symmetrical retro-futuristic drama that’s as good as it is good-looking.

This is a film full of confectionary flourishes, but it centres around grief, and in its peculiar manner it takes on the pains of existence in a beautifully melancholic way.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

While Asteroid City successfully delivers a witty comedy, it does not manage to reach the level and complexities of other Wes Anderson films. Is it an enjoyable film regardless? Very much so. But is it Wes Anderson’s best? Perhaps not this time.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 15, 2024

With its over-saturated pastel desert landscapes and impeccably blocked compositions, Asteroid City foregrounds inauthenticity.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 20, 2024

Anderson’s latest is near impossible to watch without a grin and is the outcome of utterly enchanting filmmaking from start to finish.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 17, 2024

The story-telling structure of “Asteroid City” is Anderson’s version of the Multiverse of Madness, minus the Marvel hyperactivity.

| Original Score: B | Jul 7, 2024

Colourful and imaginative Wes Anderson whimsy.

Asteroid City is a poetic, bright-colored mess, but it’s a mess that attracts people like me, and that’s sufficient.

| Apr 17, 2024

In a career that now spans nearly 30 years, Anderson's latest film – a carousel of astronomers, aliens and singing cowboys; of mid-century madness, deadpan soul and signature melancholy – might just be one of his finest.

There is romance here. There is joy. There is a deep, terrified uncertainty.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 18, 2024

It sometimes feels as if Anderson is trying to tackle a little too much and wade a little too deep, but Asteroid City still manages to find its footing, if not its focus.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 3, 2024

How far the mediocre have fallen. Here is a movie you'll feel better about walking out on before it begins, than you will wasting the fifteen minutes it takes you to realize what a disastrous piece of inert garbage it truly is. Still, walk out you will.

| Original Score: ZERO STARS | Jan 13, 2024

Wes Anderson's Asteroid City is science-fiction of an entirely different stripe and the first movie of his I've wholly connected with since The Darjeeling Limited.

| Jan 4, 2024

I assume someday I'll grow tired of the Anderson Aesthetic but someday is not today.

| Original Score: A | Dec 27, 2023

A dance of emotions and a visual spectacle that ends up shaping the definitive film of its director, in which style and mise-en-scene are at the service of his story more than ever. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 26, 2023

...an almost prototypically oddball endeavor that remains hopelessly uninvolving for the duration of its running time...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 24, 2023

This movie was bliss. It was great to see Jeffrey Wright, the standout player from The French Dispatch, solidify his standing among the Wes Anderson Players...

| Dec 22, 2023

In ASTEROID CITY, Anderson creates a feel of the 1950s that is more convincing than accurate. This isn't up to his best films, but Anderson fans won't want to miss it.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 8, 2023

For someone as memed as Wes Anderson, you’d think he’d stop surprising us.

| Oct 28, 2023

An exercise of self-indulgence and soulless nonsense. To say this film is style over substance is a giant understatement, as everything plays second fiddle to the director's trademark visuals.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 16, 2023
