Asteroid City (12A)
A fictional American desert town circa 1955.
A Junior Stargazer/ Space Cadet convention is organised to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition.
But it is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.
With an all star cast including Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Tilda Swinton and Adrien Brody.
'In its own offbeat way, Asteroid City is an Anderson patchwork of Cold War paranoia and American family values in all their often hypocritical glory. It is every bit as arch as his best work, while still managing to tug hard on the heartstrings.' ★★★★★ The Independent
Wes Anderson returns with one of his most dazzling, rich and playfully self-reflexive films to date, brought to eye-popping life by an all-timer ensemble.' ★★★★★ Little White Lies
'Asteroid City’s eccentricity, its elegance, its gaiety, and its sheer profusion of detail within the tableau frame make it such a pleasure. So, too, does its dapper styling of classic American pop culture.' ★★★★ The Guardian
'It is occasionally a bit unfocused, and always a bit indulgent. If you don’t like The Wes Anderson Film, you won’t like this.' ★★★★ Empire
'This is Anderson filtered through the lens of David Lynch minus the horror, or Charlie Kaufman with better tailoring.' ★★★★ The Times
'Asteroid City reminds you that Anderson remains what he’s always been, despite what the AI bros might have you believe: completely inimitable.' ★★★★ Daily Telegraph
'Though it seems as light as a soufflé, this is more substantial fare than Anderson has been dishing out recently. It merits second, and possibly third, helpings.' ★★★★ London Evening Standard
'Wes Anderson’s ’50s quarantine tale plays like the American auteur’s whimsical, surrealist answer to The Twilight Zone relocated to the dusty desert of the old West.' ★★★★ Time Out
