Take me down to Asteroid City

I'm slowly coming around to Wes, but this is not going to rate the highest.

This is a movie about a grieving father who ends up in a small town that an alien visit. But it's actually about the movie itself as a play and how it was put on. But it's actually about...

This is very Wes Anderson, with perfectly framed shots and very deliberate acting choices. But this is also Wes a bit more up his arse than some of his other movies. He was going in a great arc up to French Dispatch and this... goes a little too far. Dial it back, Wes.

Still, amazing set design as ever. And great performances too. ...

But I think, ultimately, I didn't really get it.
