Wow, talk about pleasantly surprised. The marketing/trailers don't do it justice. For me, it's Wes' most playful/juvenile since The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, & that one's my #8 all-time.

- Jeff Goldblum
- Jason Schwartzman may have the best performance of 2023 for me so far, though he'll be an awards afterthought, it is only June.
- LOVE the visuals, eye candy, & all around joie de vivre with the whole f'n thing.
- The kids nearly each last one of them nearly steal the film... the 3 little girls/daughters are a riot, & there's a song/dance breakout that had my entire theatre dying laughing.
- Matt f'n Dillon

- Its main speedbump is its juggling of narrative ...
This film does seem to share some of The French Dispatch's underlying mode & tones, yet far more smoothed out & entertaining.
ScarJo's full frontal nude scene was filmed by herself - Wes was too embarrassed.

Asteroid City is a televised stage play being directed & produced by Adrien Brody & Ed Norton respectively.
That's not a huge twist btw, it's pretty much served up early on, not to mention being mildly spoilered by critics already. Yet that does payoff nicely so it's already in the rearview.
