Movie Review: Americana, told Wes Anderson-style, in star-filled ‘Asteroid City’
Wes Anderson gets back to the heart of things in “Asteroid City,” a film about grief, performance, storytelling, the cosmos and, well, everything.
In this way, “Asteroid City” seems like a response to all of that — an earnest and self-conscious case for making art, putting on the play, telling the story, acting the part even if you aren’t entirely sure what you’re saying. They come to Asteroid City, population 87, for the Junior Stargazer Convention, a government organized science competition in which genius kids show off inventions which the government then owns, as Jeffrey Wright’s Gen. Grif Gibson explains.
This Stargazer convention allows for an assemblage of a quirky ensemble with government types , the brainiac kids , their parents , the head scientist a school group led by Maya Hawke and some musically inclined cowboys who, I think, just missed their bus. Locals include Hank the mechanic and the motel manager .
