Thoughts on seeing Asteroid City (beehaw.org)

I finally got the opportunity to watch Asteroid City. I am a long-time fan of Wes Anderson, but none of the people around me share my joy in his movies so I have to gush about it online.

Something about this film hit me really hard while watching, something in the way that the film uses multiple layers of storytelling about telling a story and how that highlights the real emotions being shown. I'm definitely going to have to find the time to watch it again.

Those who have seen it, what are your thoughts on the movie? Aside from whether you enjoyed it, did you get anything deeper out of it beyond the offbeat comedy?

I liked it. I don't think it's one of his best movies or anything but I thought it was funny and pleasant to watch. My biggest complaints are that there wasn't much of a story and Jason Schwartzman's character wasn't very compelling or likeable IMO. But most of the other characters were great.

The mannerisms of the Edward Norton playwright character reminds me of someone that I knew in the past, and I think it made more of an impact on me because of that.
