Asteroid City


I recently saw Asteroid City. It's interesting, but I wouldn't choose it to be someone's first Wes Anderson film. As beautiful as the set design and color palette are, it's inaccessible in a way that reminds me of Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York. It will probably be jarring for someone only familiar straightforward storytelling. I'd be lying if I said I fully understand it. 

I'd like to give it another viewing when it comes to streaming to grasp more of its themes. It gives the sense that everything about it is intentional. It's hard to call a movie like that bad even if it's not an easy watch.
