Asteroid City

A charming little Wes Anderson movie. The quality is amazing as usual, but this movie could've used a better plot and more interesting characters. There is a part of the movie where something very weird happens, and you think the movie's plot will change and get more interesting, but then the movie goes back to normal and you're left disappointed. It was pretty funny and the music was good. I was interested in this movie's themes of grief, chaos, and uncertainty. The movie explores these themes is a subtle way that leaves an impact on you. A lot of people seem to hate Wes Anderson movies and say that they are pretentious and that they value style over substance. These criticisms have never made sense to me, as his films are always filled with complex themes and messages and layered characters. His films are also very goofy and humble, so I don't understand why people call them pretentious. I am convinced that anybody who says these things have never seen a Wes Anderson movie, and they are just judging by the trailers or quoting a dumb guy on the internet.
