Asteroid City is a Wes Anderson ensemble piece set in a stylized 1950s desert town where a prestigious science convention becomes the backdrop for intimate, absurd encounters. Through meticulously crafted production design, deadpan humor, and a large, interconnected cast, the film explores curiosity, family dynamics, and the longing for connection against a sci-fi premise that is both whimsical and poignant. A visually rich, heartfelt meditation on wonder.
